Significant ethical point from today's #greatlakespalliative23 workshop clinical ethicist: Losing capacity does not mean losing autonomy... Consider whether the patient has 'capacity for preferences' Great approach to include non-decisional patients in GOC discussions. #hapc

I don't care too much about how we call it (ACP, SIC, GOC, etc). We just need 3 steps, 1)prognosis--> 2)goals/values --> 3)treatment preferences. 2) depends on 1), 3) depends on 2). If you are healthy, don't worry about 1) and 3), but still you need to talk about 2). 1/

I don’t think we’ve ever met in person. Part of me thinks that your tweets are written by my just waking subconscious self. About a 99+% concordance rate. Outside of the running tweets. Question: is @PaulNWilliamz a real person? Or do I need a break from my phone?

@AdrienneKlement proposing a Unified Definition of what we intend when when we say “Goals of Care” #hapc #greatlakespalliative22
How do we avoid the pitfalls of the phrase “goals of care” when it is difficult (impossible?) to measure? 🤔 #hapc #greatlakespalliative22

“An LVAD is like a parachute - you want to use it early as heart failure progresses - it won’t do any good if you use it when you’re 20 feet off the ground” - Dr. Kursel from @MCWcardiology #hapc #greatlakespalliative22
Dr. Renee Kursel reviewing Palliative Care Discussions in Advanced Heart Failure Patients at the 10th Annual Great Lakes Palliative Care Conference - so thankful for great AHF colleagues @MedicalCollege @MCWcardiology #hapc #greatlakespalliative22

1 in 4 caregivers report a negative health impact of providing care to loved ones at end-of-life #hapc #greatlakespalliative22
Caregivers at end-of-life - in addition to be spouses and children, they have to be nurses, pharmacists, nutritionists and housekeepers - 60% perform technical tasks @JessicaZitter #hapc #greatlakespalliative22
