Beth Israel Deaconess Urges Wiser End-of-Life Spending

This week, the Greater Boston Interfaith Organization (GBIO) met with area hospital and insurance leaders to ask what they are doing to make sure health care costs don’t rise any faster than inflation.



Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center CEO Kevin Tabb talked about better coordination of care and attention to quality will reduce spending.  But he also issued a specific challenge to the audience:  help friends and family members curb the impulse to try every last thing possible at the end of life.  


It would be invaluable if all of you, if faith communities, would take a leadership role in statewide discussions about how we can ensure that we are doing better in end-of-life care.


That includes but isn’t limited to helping us ensure that we are spending our money as wisely as possible.
