Article #2:
Review the "Your Conversation Starter Guide" and consider how this valuable resource can assist hospice patients. Do you know someone who could benefit from this guide? It can be useful to have a structured guide that facilitates discussions concerning one's illness and healthcare goals with healthcare providers. Often, patients feel anxious when communicating with healthcare providers, and this resource can aid them in defining their objectives and priorities for their healthcare. It also ensures that they don't forget any essential aspects they wish to discuss.
Article #3:
As a hospice volunteer, you play a vital role in providing support and care to patients facing serious illnesses. That's why we're excited to share with you a valuable resource that you can use to help patients prepare for important conversations with their healthcare team. The Workbook we're providing is specifically designed to help patients identify what matters most to them and communicate their goals and preferences to their healthcare team. By using this Workbook, patients can feel empowered to make informed decisions about the type of care that is right for them. It's important to note that this Workbook is not intended for making specific medical decisions, but rather to assist patients in advocating for themselves and receiving the care they desire. We encourage you to share this Workbook with patients who may benefit from it, and to use it as a tool to enhance your conversations with them.
I came across a valuable resource, "The Conversation Project" website, where I found the above useful resources. If you're interested, you're more than welcome to explore the website and check out the other resources they offer. However, it's not mandatory.
