WEBINAR DETAILS
In order to provide optimal patient/family care, we cannot afford to have “invisible” team members – or those who go about providing care absent much involvement with or from the interdisciplinary team. Do you believe you are undervalued by the team and/or the organization? Then show up with value! That means making sure everyone knows who you are – your role, your skillsets, what you are capable of. To accomplish this, you need to be assertive – not aggressive. This webinar will be about assuring hospice social workers and chaplains are clear about the pathway to becoming essential, and well-understood, members of the interdisciplinary team.
