I’m excited to see this commitment to leveling college access at an institution I love. Sarah is directly benefiting from this type of commitment, applying to the selective colleges that guarantee anyone who can get in can afford to attend. We’re awaitin… https://t.co/H6pgx2kQiD
Here it is: My official guide to the difference between clinical notes and the After Visit Summary.

A4: We also need to increase understanding of the distinction between #PalliativeCare and #hospice. Palliative Care and goals of treatment should begin at diagnosis and continue to be evaluated through management of an NCD. No matter where you live. #globalnursingncd
