Webcast
1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ ...OVERVIEW
Integrative Therapies in Hospice and Palliative Care: Introduction is organized by National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO).
Description:
This one-hour course is part of a 9-course program for multidisciplinary health professionals on integrative approaches in hospice and palliative care (PC). The overall goal is to prepare learners to participate in multidisciplinary care planning with evidence-based information on the use of acupuncture in PC settings. This course reviews the history of acupuncture in PC, major uses of acupuncture in PC, theoretical mechanisms of action, training, delivery strategies in PC settings, safety considerations, scientific evidence base, and communicating about the modality with colleagues, patients and families. As members of a multidisciplinary PC team, learners will be sufficiently informed about acupuncture that they can participate in care planning meetings with evidence-informed understanding of its role in PC.
Learning Outcomes:
- Identify the differences between the term “alternative”, “complementary” and “integrative” in health care.
- Describe how integrative therapies can contribute to a holistic, multidimensional approach to PC.
- Explain key factors in the evaluation of scientific evidence on use of integrative therapies in PC.
