NeuroBytes: Navigating Conflict with Surrogate Decision Makers: A Palliative Care Approach
Course Description
Conflict among surrogate decision makers and care teams are particularly difficult to navigate. While both parties’ goals are to provide the most appropriate care for the patient, a multitude of complexities confound achieving this goal. Additionally, failing to effectively navigate conflict can lead to inappropriate care that does not align with the patient’s values. In this video, we aim to present helpful and effective strategies in communicating through conflicts from the perspective of palliative medicine.
Learning Objectives
As a result of this program the learner will be able to:
- Formulate an approach to serious conversations, ensuring that treatment options align with patients’ goals and values, even in the face of conflict between patients and their surrogate decision makers.
