Palliative Care Summit in Hawaii 2020

Описание: Our very successful Palliative Care Summit provided a unique opportunity to bring together key stakeholders for an overview of the current state of palliative care in Hawai‘i , focusing on:
• What is working? • What are barriers? • What are the opportunities for expanding access?

The Palliative Care Summit on April 25, 2020 in Honolulu was the first of its kind in Hawai‘i.

Our 121 participants represented a variety of stakeholders including health plans, health systems, hospices, higher education, state and county government, and non-profits (including AARP and American Cancer Society). Participants came from all 4 counties and included doctors, nurses, social workers, chaplains, community advocates and administrators.

What is Palliative Care?

Palliative care is specialized medical care for people living with a serious illness. This type of care is focused on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of the illness. The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family.

•Palliative care is provided by a specially-trained team of doctors, nurses and other specialists who work together with a patient’s other doctors to provide an extra layer of support.
• Palliative care is based on the needs of the patient, not on the patient’s prognosis.
• This care is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness, and it can be provided along with curative treatment.

Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC, 2019)

Palliative Care is sometimes referred to as Supportive or Concurrent Care, and provides strong support for individuals and their loved ones with a serious illness or condition, or have complex health issues. It is not the same as hospice care, and individuals using this benefit can continue to receive curative treatments as desired. Comfort-directed services are focused to help people manage the symptoms and stresses of serious illness. Contact your health plan for further details on this beneficial service.
