End of Life Care: Learning from Mortality Reviews
Session Overview
The Opportunities for Improvement (OFI’s) are enormous when it comes to end of life issues. Our audience continuously requests more learning from mortality reviews pioneered by the Mayo Clinic and led by Dr. Jeanne Huddleston. Her emphasis along with other speakers from her research collaborative this month will be on Opportunities for Improvement for the end of life care.
Patty Atkins, MS, RN, FACHE, CPPS, who is Vice President of Quality and Patient Safety at Sharp HealthCare, will discuss this important topic with attention to end of life goals in the ED, a nurse-led approach to end of life issues, and the barriers to nurse-led Advanced Illness Management (AIM) programs.
Additional speakers will address these issues and a panel of patient advocates and experts will react to the presentations.
We offer these online webinars at no cost to our participants.
