OUR VISION
With every interaction across the continuum of care, patients will reliably receive high quality, effective care that is focused on their needs, concerns and preferences and is compassionate, collaborative and coordinated. Without compassion, care may be technically excellent but depersonalized and cannot address the unique cultures, concerns, distress and suffering of patients and their families.
GOALS
This conference will build on current initiatives to advance interprofessional education for compassionate and collaborative, patient-centered care. Participants will identify models and opportunities, as well as barriers that must be addressed to ensure that the values, knowledge and behaviors needed to provide such care are explicitly taught, demonstrated, supported and sustained within and across clinical settings.
