ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Ferdinando Mirarchi, DO, is the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Medical Officer of USACS MIDEO, LLC. He has recently been appointed to the Chairman position of the National Palliative Care Committee for USACS.
Dr. Mirarchi is the Principal Investigator of the TRIAD Research Series (The Realistic Interpretation of Advance Directives). The results of his TRIAD research have been featured in the NY Times, Washington POST, Boston Herald, and many more nationally syndicated outlets.  The TRIAD research has confirmed that there is a new nationwide and global patient safety risk related to confusion surrounding living wills, DNR & POLST orders. His TRIAD research has also set the foundation for the development and utilization of a state of the art, evidence-based patient safety solution called MIDEO (My Informed Decision on VidEO).  MIDEO has been structured to be both a Video Advance Directive and portable Physicians Medical Order that is prescriptive, clarifies existing documents and retrievable in seconds.
Dr. Mirarchi serves as a reviewer for many nationally peer review scientific journals such as CHEST and JAGS as well as is an Editorial Board Member for Patient Safety Magazine.  He is the author of Understanding Your Living Will; What You Need to Know before a Medical Emergency, published by Addicus Books.
