CONFERENCE AGENDATHURSDAY, FEBRUARY 278:30 – 10:30 A.M. Hospice vs. Palliative Care and How They Can Reduce Hospital Admissions2 patient care hours

Speaker: Heather Bax, RN, BSN, MBA, Executive Director, Compassus Jefferson City, Missouri

By helping a patient and caregiver understand a disease process, symptom management and having nurses available on-call we can decrease the change of patients going back to the hospital. As we all care for patients we need to understand the patient’s goals of care. To begin, the patient needs to have a good understanding of their current health status and what the progression of their current disease processes look like. With identifying the patients goal of care we can assure the patient is receiving the appropriate level of care. Also with providing proper education the patient and caregivers can know what to do when symptoms arise. With all of these together provided by hospice or palliative care we can smooth transitions between levels of care, reduce readmissions and therefore improve utilization of Medicare funding.

Speaker: Judy Waechter, RN, CRRN, Regional Director of Business Development, Good Shepherd Hospice, Springfield, Missouri

There is no single way that people with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia think about or react to their symptoms; however, most are far more aware than we think. Many, perhaps most, experiencing cognitive decline become frightened. Without a trusted confidant, they may feel extraordinarily vulnerable. Having the conversation about care, especially care at the end of life, isn’t an intrusion or unkind. On the contrary, it may be the most intimate way to promise your loved one that you will be there for them. By listening carefully and respectfully, you share their worries and promise that even when they lose the capacity to make decisions, you will be their voice. You will respect them and their wishes. They will not disappear. Join us and learn conversation tactics to promote effective advance care planning communication with a person with dementia and use of the Where I Stand scales.
