The Philosophy of Palliative Care and a Palliative Approach
(April 10, 2024 / 1:00 – 2:00 pm ET )
In this ECHO session, you’ll learn how adopting a palliative approach enhances illness management, not just at life’s end, but from diagnosis. You’ll see how addressing physical, psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual needs through integrated, holistic care can significantly improve quality of life for patients and their families. A case study will showcase a home care team’s successful application of this approach in care planning, demonstrating the impact of effective communication, decision-making, and interdisciplinary teamwork.
