At this event, leading health care executives, experts, policymakers, and other thought leaders gathered to conclude a project to develop a guiding framework for providing improved care for people with serious illness. Participants observed the final working session where distinguished panelists discussed innovations in program design and pathways for delivering high quality care to an aging population with chronic illnesses, especially those with declining function and complex care needs. The panelists engaged audience members in Q&A sessions during each panel, as well as at breakout sessions over lunch.

This project was funded by the Gordon & Betty Moore Foundation, and this convening was part of the Project on Advanced Care and Health Policy, a collaboration between the Coalition to Transform Advanced Care (C-TAC) and the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics at Harvard Law School.
