If It's Not One Thing, It's Another: The Pain Is Gone but the Suffering Continues (SA521)

Abstract

This session will provide an orientation to the bigger picture trends in outpatient services, examples of innovation, and emerging health system enablers and constraints. The shared advice and learning from the IPAL-OP Advisory Board (10 palliative care leaders from leading programs) will be used to introduce participants to the purpose and recommended use of the new suite of tools. Participants will have time in small groups to discuss their own outpatient challenges or aspirations and to develop priorities for using the tools to support their own program development.
