GIA Webinar: Conveying Empathy from a Distance - Using E-empathy in Goals of Care Conversations
Grantmakers in Aging (GIA) is holding a Conversations with GIA webinar May 26, "Conveying Empathy from a Distance: Using E-empathy in Goals of Care Conversations."
The webinar is based upon the work of an online training titled, E-empathy: How to Convey Empathy in Goals of Care Conversations Using Telehealth. This guide incorporates evidence-based practices and patient feedback to provide health care professionals with concrete skills and example scenarios to build empathetic, trusting relationships when communicating with seriously ill patients via telehealth.
The Rita and Alex Hillman Foundation is building upon this work through a grant to establish a culturally tailored approach to help clinicians more effectively communicate empathy when working with Black patients with kidney disease in a virtual/telehealth environment. The webinar will talk about this innovative work to build empathetic relationships with people through telehealth.
Speakers include:
- Peggy Maguire, President, Cambia Health Foundation
- Rachael Watman, Vice President, Programs, Rita and Alex Hillman Foundation
- Adriana Glen, Assistant Professor, Nursing, RN-BSN Program Director & Academic Coach, The George Washington University, School of Nursing
