Learn how Sharp HospiceCare developed an advance care planning model that proactively influences the planning process for the care of persons with serious, advanced or terminal illness. Using a dynamic and multidimensional approach, facilitating conversations earlier in the disease trajectory can result in better alignment between wishes and actual care received. We will share real life experiences, data, and other evidence based information to guide you in considering developing such a unique and service oriented program.
