This Interprofessional Grand Rounds session explores the complex clinical, ethical, and emotional considerations surrounding dialysis discontinuation.

Today is . There are 63 million people in the U.S.—approximately one in four adults—who serve as caregivers, family, friends, or anyone who provides care to individuals living with chronic or serious illnesses, disabilities, or mental health challenges. Many provide sustained, high-intensity care, assisting with activities of daily living and complex medical tasks. As a result, their own risk of anxiety, depression, physical illness, and financial strain increases.

Providing better support for caregivers is essential—not only for the well-being of patients and families, but also for the outcomes and cost-effectiveness of health care organizations. CAPC’s new report, The Case for Caregiver Support: Better Outcomes for People and Organizations, outlines why caregiver support is a critical component of high-quality serious illness care and makes the case that health care organizations should establish formal caregiver support programs to make a difference in both patient outcomes and health care spending.
