C-TAC Virtual Forum: How to Communicate to Improve Advance Care Planning - Putting Research Into Practice
The Coalition to Transform Advanced Care (C-TAC), in partnership with the Cleveland Clinic, is holding a virtual forum on September 24, "How to Communicate to Improve Advance Care Planning: Putting Research Into Practice."
The webinar will highlight findings from three pioneering research studies on communication, ACP, and decision-making. The aim is to put person-centered, actionable PCORI studies in the hands of implementers – health system leaders, individual providers, payers, community and state coalitions, and advocacy groups – who can use the research findings to improve the delivery of care for patients living with advanced illness.
Speakers include:
- Rebecca Sudore, MD, Professor, Department of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco, Preparing Spanish-Speaking Older Adults for Advance Care Planning and Medical Decision Making — The PREPARE Trial
- J. Randall Curtis, MD, Director, Cambia Palliative Care Center of Excellence, University of Washington, Seattle, Improving Communication by Preparing Patients and Doctors for a Conversation about Care Goals for Serious Illness
