New resource on NCP Domain 5
Our colleagues at AAHPM have launched “Bringing NCP Domain 5 to Life Within Your Hospice and Palliative Care Practice Micro-Learning Flight.” Domain 5 is the spiritual/religious/existential domain of the NCHPC Clinical Practice Guidelines for Quality Palliative Care. This training program is available to all at no charge.
Course overview:
Palliative care clinicians are advocates for whole-person care, addressing symptoms and protecting what is most important to people living with serious illness, yet many palliative care clinicians lack clarity about how best to collaborate with spiritual caregivers to champion spiritual, religious, and existential aspects of care. This activity will highlight practices for implementing the NCP guidelines for Domain 5: Spiritual, Religious and Existential Aspects of Care and address tips for maximizing the integrative value of chaplains within our teams to support improved outcomes in caring for patients and families with serious illness.
Target audience:
Hospice Medical Directors
HPM Physicians
Nurses
