Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of Building a Primary Palliative Care Model for Urology participants will be able to:
- Identify the optimal timing, provider, and support required to support the needs of patients with advanced urologic disease
- Describe the settings in which goals of care, prognosis, diagnosis, advance care planning, goals of operations and procedures, and physical and psychological symptom management are currently being pursued.
- Explain methods of family engagement that support both the family and the patient as disease progresses.
- Discuss aspects of patient care and counseling that are lacking within current health systems.
- Assess the spiritual and support needs among patients with advanced urologic health conditions, and the point along the disease course when this support should be offered.
The 2021 AUA Quality Improvement Summit is a three-part program designed for the entire urologic care team aimed at improving the use of palliative care in urology. Educational activities will feature presentations, panel discussions, and opportunities to share experience and data to improve care quality using palliative care. Building a Primary Palliative Care Model for Urology is the first webinar of the three-part series.
