PRESENTATION: Learn how Case Management’s Health Equity Pillars for Serious Illness (HEP-SI) fuse clinical guidelines, accreditation and other regulatory requirements to expand your practice. Ensure ethical and compliance balance amid the ongoing health equity evolution. Advance your practice approach from “Patient-centric” to “Patient-inclusive”.
Health equity is an integral factor of any quality healthcare equation. This theme is equally powerful in the end-of-life, or serious illness space. Timely palliative and hospice referrals are delayed by ongoing misconceptions of their intent by patients and practitioners. Cultural competence impacts ethical conversations by case managers about patient autonomy, prognosis, and quality of life. Implicit biases impede effective pain management across ethnicity, gender, and race, among other groups. Further barriers to care access for minoritized and marginalized populations are amplified by their lack of access to clinical trials, which adds another obstacle to advancing appropriate care. ‘Patient-centric care’ is no longer enough. Every patient and family should feel safe, seen, heard, and valued, and through every touchpoint of care. Yet, achieving this reality is case management’s latest challenge.
Behavioral Objectives:
- Explore the intersections between health equity, social determinants of health, and serious illness.
- Apply case management’s Health Equity Pillars for Serious Illness (HEP-SI) to their practice population.
- Cite case management’s established resources of guidance (e.g., professional regulations, accreditation standards, clinical guidelines, standards of practice, ethical codes).
