Additionally, this session offers actionable recommendations on how to modify current messaging to align with key study findings. Geared towards palliative and hospice teams, as well as healthcare professionals committed to empowering teams and patients in managing serious illness and end-of-life planning, this presentation emphasizes communicating in a positive manner that encourages individuals to take proactive action.

Speakers
Advocacy/Empowerment for Patients and Healthcare Teams
Deb has worked on the frontlines of nursing care her entire nursing career. In 1988 she organized and led a “Patient Care Conference” for a patient who had been hospitalized for several months. Jack transferred back and forth between CCU, ICU and the cardiovascular med/surg unit that she worked on, never stabilizing enough to be discharged. Today this conference is known as a Patient-Centric, Goal Concordant conference. The patient’s goal was, “to get well enough to go home, and then take my grandson fishing”. If you are curious about Jack’s outcomes, Deb will share his outcomes at the April 4 meeting. Deb then spent the next 30+ years looking for a practice environment where she could work with a team in a similar fashion as she had with Jack! She found that team in 2017, when she entered the world of hospice nursing. She found a place where patients’ emotional and spiritual needs were recognized and their goals were an integral part of the team’s action plan. At last, she had found her calling and a place for patient-centric care. The three sessions being offered by the Phoenix chapter of HPNA, offers each of us a place to more fully engage with patients and their families. A place where we can more fully “meet our patients where they are”.
