Tools for Palliative Care Conversations about COVID-19
VitalTalk put together a great set of COVID-19 conversation resources called “COVID-19 Ready Communication Playbook.”
Colleagues who have assisted our rural palliative care work, Tammy Bhang, DNP, ARNP, ACHPN and Juan Iregui, MD, MA, FAAHPM offer these resources to rural health teams. The two attachments below are companion pieces to this video.
Ariadne’s Serious Illness Care Program developed a patient-facing guide, "Being Prepared in the Time of COVID-19," to help people take action and talk about their priorities for treatment if they become sick with COVID-19. This guide was developed in partnership with The Conversation Project and with generous support from the Cambia Health Foundation.
