Part of our Updated & Innovations in Essential Conversations for the Health Care Team ECHO Series.
This session will speak to the opportunity to take an interprofessional approach to eliciting patients’ goals of care (GOC) in acute care settings. Dara Lewis (an acute care lead for Vancouver Coastal Health’s GOC Support Team), Dr. Gary Miller (a Critical Care Physician), and Emily Sullivan (an acute care Speech Language Pathologist) will lead a discussion around how serious illness communication strategies can be used by multiple members of the care team to autonomously and collaboratively explore what matters to patients and arrive at a shared understanding of the patient’s health status. Strategies to engage physicians in GOC training will also be discussed.
Presenter: Dara Lewis, MSN(c), BSN, CHPCN Vancouver Coastal Health, Clinical Educator and Lead, Vancouver Acute
