Advance Care Planning & Serious Illness Conversations
May 11, 2020 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm PDT
Spotlight Series Presents: Advance Care Planning and Serious Illness Conversations – Lessons for Improvement
COVID-19 has heightened awareness of the need for people of all ages and all states of illness or health to reflect on what matters to them and what kind of care they would want in the future should they become seriously ill. The time of pandemic provides an important opportunity to share successful models and approaches for improving conversations about care planning and treatment decision with a goal of ensuring that care providers and recipients work respectfully and in culturally appropriate ways to, in partnership, communicate, set goals of care and make informed treatment decisions.
In a conversation about leading practices and lived experience, we will share examples of successful improvement strategies and identify opportunities to increase the reach of effective conversations about serious illness and what matters.
