Such a wonderful group and great discussion on “Defining Hope”.

“Defining Hope” draws a great crowd, stimulates a lively discussion, & confirms that working towards better end of life care is a worthwhile goal! At G K’s Cafe in Greenville NC. Thanks Vidant HHH. ⁦vicki t Dougherty⁩ ⁦Mary Lou Infinito⁩ ⁦@kimberlypaulnc⁩

Our oncology fellows are discussing advance directives with newly diagnosed cancer patients - why wouldn't we talk to cancer patients about their wishes regarding medical treatment? Better yet, why wouldn't we be having these same discussions with everyone over the age of 18!

Ellie Ward leads discussion on CPR outcomes with 30 Respecting Choices participants. The more people who can comfortably discuss death & dying & goals of care with our patients, the better chance we have of aligning care with what the patient wants!

We know that patients want to share in the decision making, and make informed choices, so our goal should be to strive for honest, open communication. Patient Satisfaction Hinges on Shared Decision-Making, Communication shar.es/a0GShd

Just saying! CPR is NOT what you see on TV!

I like honoring a patient's choices and aligning the care they are provided with their wishes! Let's make it about the goals of care, and what matters most to the patient and their loved ones!
