End-of-life care is one of the most profound aspects of healthcare, especially for those working in long-term care. But how do we navigate the sensitive balance between respecting resident wishes, ethical standards, and legal guidelines? This webinar will provide you with the knowledge and practical tools needed to address these complex issues with confidence and compassion.

This session will cover the law when honoring a resident’s choice to engage in the legal process of Washington’s Death with Dignity law and more specifically, the updated version called Protecting Access to Medical Aid-in-Dying Act. The presentation, offered by Ballard Spahr Lane Powell attorneys knowledgeable of the Act and its application in long-term care settings, will cover the following:

• Resident qualifications
• The qualified medical providers who can prescribe medical aid-in-dying medications
• The waiting period required between requests and fulfillment of the resident’s wishes
• Policies and procedures necessary to meet the intent of the law while advocating for resident choice
• Considerations including staff reluctance and facility/company philosophy
• Risk management efforts

Whether you’re an administrator, nurse, nursing assistant or home care aide, this webinar will give you the insights needed to support a resident’s choice and dignity throughout the Death with Dignity process.
