National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization Conferences
In collaboration with the National Hospice and Palliative
Care Organization (NHPCO), Promoting Excellence in End-of-Life Care presented
learning tracks at three consecutive NHPCO conferences – the 18th
Management and Leadership Conference in Phoenix in September 2003, the
5th Clinical Team Conference in Las Vegas in March 2004 and the 19th
Management and Leadership Conference in Washington D.C. in September – October
2004.
Faculty from Promoting Excellence demonstration projects and
national workgroups presented sessions at each of the tracks that explored
successful
approaches to delivering palliative care and highlighted several replicable
models of care. The NHPCO – Promoting Excellence partnership
produced CD-ROMs of the three tracks that are available for purchase
through the NHPCO Marketplace. These CD-ROMs
can be used in a variety of educational venues by clinicians and administrators.
