Can we stop using the term "palliative care" as a euphemism for care that does not allow for life sustaining treatments? Palliative care services are seeing patients who are getting maximal treatments including vents in the ICU. #HAPC #bioethics

Patients & families taught us how they were resilient. Now, we’re sharing 4 skills that work. Try them, share them, and know that we are all in this together. @seattlechildren @pcresilience @uwmnewsroom ⁦@artefactgroup⁩ #covid19 #resilience #hapm #pedpc #hpm

“Management is about coping with complexity. Leadership, by contrast, is about coping with change.” Successful teams and organizations have both. #hapm #hpm #pedpc #bioethics @TIMESUPHC #WomenInMedicine @seattlechildren @UWPedsRes

Using the Serious Illness Conversation Guide leads to more, better, earlier conversations while reducing patient anxiety and depression. #CAPCSeminar19 @ewidera
