Provider education for enhancing efficacy and efficiency in goals of care discussions for seriously ill patients. Save time. Reduce stress. Improve satisfaction.

Improving process and reducing stress.

As an organization, can you ensure that your providers and staff communicate options for care during serious illness or at end of life with empathy and clarity? Will your system and processes support you in doing that work?

I am a physician with a diverse background and I have been working as an advocate, advisor, and consultant since 2009. I strive to help organizations create and utilize pathways that lead to better care: care that is right for unique individuals, care that supports personal, professional and organizational values, care that minimizes the chances of anxiety, confusion, and regret.
