We're excited to introduce...The National Alliance for Care at Home! The National Association for Home Care & Hospice and the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization have come together to form one, new national organization that will carry forward the work of serving home care, home health, hospice, and palliative care providers as they deliver patients the highest-quality care in their own homes and communities. The National Alliance for Care at Home (the Alliance) also launched its integration website today: AllianceForCareAtHome.org. In addition to providing information on the Alliance, this new website serves as a single sign-on hub, enabling members of either legacy organization to access the resources of both. Read the full press release: https://lnkd.in/eMvsBQat Stay tuned for more Alliance updates as we move toward 2025!

What are the benefits of incorporating a palliative medicine program/specialist inside a nursing home? Goals of Care discussions, patients followed for symptom management/complex disease management, and a proven reduction in rehospitalizations just to name a few. Patients, families, and facilities all benefit by offering their residents early and expert palliative care. To learn more contact Bridges Palliative Care at info@bridgespalliativecare.com

Why not make palliative care available in nursing homes? Of course, this would require providing access to an interdisciplinary team that would address patients' holistic (physical, psychosocial, spiritual) needs. Support for the nursing home clinicians would only enhance care. Goals-of-care conversations would be part of the expected service. We would address realistic expectations, perhaps reducing unnecessary hospitalizations, optimizing medication regimens, and reducing polypharmacy. Patients and families would better understand the value of the holistic, interdisciplinary team approach and be likely more receptive to education and conversations about hospice. 👇🏻 #palliative #palliativecare #palliativemedicine #hapm #hpm #hospice #hospicecare #endoflifecare #cuidadospaliativos #palliativezorg #soinspalliatifs #medicine

Do you ever wonder what’s the driving force behind the latest group of medical students? * Growth mindset: Having effective strategies to grow their careers, including collaboration with peers or a mentoring and precepting onboarding program. * Purpose and relevance: Finding value and meaningful purpose in their work. * Sense of belonging: Feeling connected, supported and respected in their work. “Palliative is about trying to take on someone’s perspective and put aside your own to honor someone’s truth.” #palliativecare #healthcare #medicalstudents
Thanks Holly Vossel for the interview! To be honest I’ve been feeling a bit of burnout lately…but getting to talk with you about building and sustaining palliative teams reminded me why it’s so important to keep pushing forward ❤️ Palliative care for the Win 🙌 #palliativecare #diversity #team

Palliative Care-it’s more than you think. Palliative care means LIFE and living well. The involvement of palliative care services mean more care, not less. Palliative care focused on people living with chronic and serious diseases. Palliative care focuses on a patient’s overall well being and quality of life. Patients have personal hopes and goals for their future and a need for ongoing education and support, alongside with their family members and caregivers.

Why do doctors die differently than their patients? What's unusual about doctors is not how much treatment they get as their patients, but how little. Careers in medicine have taught them about the limits of treatments and more importantly-how to plan ahead. The most important work our team of palliative care clinicians do is to provide advice and guidance to patients and their families based on their unique wants and wishes to give them a higher quality of life experience.
