University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Mānoa School of Nursing and Dental Hygiene<\/a> is partnering with Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Health Systems Corporation<\/a> to develop a palliative and hospice training program for physicians, nurses and social workers who work with patients and families. The goal of the Statewide Palliative and Hospice Training program is to provide a broad foundation of knowledge in palliative and hospice care focused on delivering quality patient and family-centered care to long-term and hospice patients.<\/p>\n

The program’s training and evaluation initial phase will be piloted at Lēʻahi<\/span> Hospital, Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Health Systems Corporation’s long-term care facility. Kōkua Mau<\/a> will be responsible for developing the communication training and the mentoring program. HHSC<\/abbr> will track patients’ progress and service referral and the UH<\/abbr> Mānoa nursing program will conduct an exploratory study describing the self-reported perception of patient and family satisfaction after receiving palliative care services.<\/p>\n

“Training and mentoring of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>’s health professionals about palliative and hospice care will improve the quality of care services they provide to seriously ill patients and families” said UH<\/abbr>\u00a0Mānoa Nursing Associate Professor Merle Kataoka-Yahiro<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A grant from the HMSA<\/abbr> Foundation provided funding for this collaborative partnership.<\/p>\n
