Expert Panel for Physicians and Healthcare Professionals
Join us for a panel discussion that explores the growing need and impact of coordinated palliative and hospice care for serious illness. Learn how cross-sector collaboration strategies linking primary care, hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living and hospice help keep patients in their preferred setting.
This session will use realworld case studies to show how smooth transitions across the continuum improve the patient and family experience. Designed for physicians, nurses, social workers, case managers and other healthcare professionals, participants will also learn the core elements of quality palliative and hospice care and the impact of social determinants of health on equitable access.
