With a special focus on engaging leadership in the discussion of supportive care’s role in increased cost efficiency and appropriate care management, the conference features Dr. Robert Bear, an author and nephrologist for more than 30 years, addressing his own transformation in “How a Nephrologist Became a Palliative Care Medicine Champion through Personal Epiphany and Change Leadership.”

Also on the agenda is Dr. Richard Brumley, GeriNet, addressing how to hold conversations with reluctant physicians and encourage patient-centered care.

The packed agenda for the day-long event will also include representatives from CHA’s Center for Post-Acute Care, CareRx, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, CareMore Health Plan, OptumHealth, Patient Centered Care Foundation Partners, and The Schwartz Center for Compassionate Care.

The annual HASC Palliative Care Transitions Conference is fast becoming a significant forum for connecting with peers interested in supportive care across health care settings—including hospitals, health systems, clinics, post-acute care, hospice, nursing homes, assisted living and home health.
