Description
The words ‘Palliative Care’ are often linked to, confused with, and erroneously used interchangeably with Hospice Care. While both Palliative Care and Hospice Care embrace the concepts of patient-centered care based on the patient’s symptoms and goals of care, they differ in the timing of implementation and the need to forego curative treatment. This webinar will review the outcome of the Consensus Statement developed by the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers, CMSC, on the Comprehensive Palliative Care in MS. By reviewing the statement, participants will learn where CRT can fill unmet needs being experienced by healthcare providers and patients who think, due to the progression of a disease, ‘there is nothing more we can do”. As we know, there are TONS of interventions “we” can offer.
Learning Outcomes:
Participants will be able to name and discuss the differences between Palliative Care and Hospice Care
Participants will be able to list the four domains of inquiry when following the principles of Palliative Care.
Participants will be able to identify effective communication strategies including the importance of ‘Ask before Teaching”.
