Kokua Mau Virtual Palliative Care Conference:
Turning Points - Mastering Transitions in Care
Kokua Mau is once again hosting a virtual palliative care conference: "Turning Points - Mastering Transitions in Care". The high quality, state of the art live-stream conference will be for 2 half-days on July 18 and 19, in Honolulu.
The virtual conference is organized and presented by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO), the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine (AAHPM) and the Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association (HPNA).
This is a great chance to earn continuing education credits from national experts without having to leave home. For the latest (updated) Conference Program please visit the NHPCO website.
2018 Virtual Conference Objectives:
At the completion of this conference, participants will be able to:
- Identify key points of transition from patients', families' and professionals' perspectives;
- Discuss improvements in continuity, communication and provision of care;
- Describe two or more interdisciplinary strategies to provide high quality hospice and palliative care during key points on transition.
As we have done in the past years, we meet at a central location in Honolulu, this year at Islands Hospice, for both days to watch the presentations together, starting at 6:30 am HST (12:30 PM EST).
- Please arrive early, we start at 6:30 am sharp, since this is in the afternoon on the East Coast.
- Coffee, drinks, breakfast and snacks will be generously provided by Islands Hospice.
- We will send details via email to registered participants only about location, room number, parking etc.
