Telehealth a great boon for advance care planning — but don’t get sloppy with consent - Part B News

Heather Alleva, associate in the Healthcare section, is quoted in the Part B News article, "Telehealth a great boon for advance care planning — but don't get sloppy with consent."

"It's an important topic to address during pandemic, in person or not," adds Heather R. Alleva, an associate with the law firm Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC in Philadelphia. "Especially for older people, the pandemic presents its own issues. You're less likely to say, 'We can talk about it next year,' when stats show if you're 80 or above you're at increased risk for complications or death."
