Description:
In this online learning module, participants will learn about why it is important to have and document Goals of Care discussions in a systematic way in the primary care setting for patients with complex care management needs.

They will learn about a team-based ThedaCare pilot initiative designed to identify patients at high-risk of misalignments in plans of care and facilitate Goals of Care discussions and appropriate continuing services and/or onward referrals.

Participants will learn how such discussions can be documented and reviewed using a novel Goals of Care flowsheet in the electronic health record, as well as how to have appropriate, comprehensive, compassionate, and patient and family centered Goals of Care discussions.

Learning Objectives:
As a result of participation in this educational series, members of the healthcare team will be able to:

• List at least two reasons why it is important to have and document Goals of Care discussions with patients and, where appropriate, families and/or surrogate decision makers.
• Describe two circumstances in which having a Goals of Care discussion might be helpful and appropriate.
• Describe the tool used to document Goals of Care in the electronic health record in a consistent way that is visible to all health providers across settings.
• Demonstrate improved comfort having and documenting Goals of Care discussions.
