In this webinar, two experts addressed system-level barriers to optimal delivery of cancer care. Specifically, they discussed guidelines created in response to the opioid epidemic and Medicare benefits that impact end-of-life care for cancer patients, particularly those who suffer from cancer pain. The webinar concluded with a panel discussion, led by a discussant who is an expert in implementation science.
