The World Health Care Congress Leadership Summit on End of Life Care will convene senior level executives from health plans, health systems, hospitals and employers to address critical issues surrounding end of life care to enhance the value of care delivered to patients with advanced illness. From thought-provoking case studies to in-depth presentations, health care executives will examine both hospice and palliative care as they relate to quality of life, outcomes, accountability and cost-effectiveness. It has been estimated that half of the Medicare budget is spent on end of life care with shockingly high expenses being administered in the final days of one's life. This cost of care is growing at an exceedingly large number each year and now is the time for organizations to overcome barriers in treating individuals with advanced illness, allowing them death with dignity.

• Quality of Life vs. Quantity of Service: A Path Driven By Choice
• An End of Life Dilemma: When Does Hospice Begin?
• Culture, Religion and Disparities: Barriers to Overcome in Death, Dying and Bereavement
• Putting it in Writing: Exploring the Legal Side to End of Life Care
• Qualitative and Cost Effective: Outcomes Driven at then End of Life
• Innovations in End of Life Care
