Collaborative Care Learning Network
by Paul Uhlig
Hi Everyone,
I have heard from so many of you about how much you miss
the Tidbits, and how important these regular connections are
for our work together.
After a little time to recharge and renew, I am writing with
good news about the Collaborative Care Learning Network! It is alive and
growing!
In the next few weeks I will write again
with more information about some exciting developments and new
activities -
1.
a new
website is almost ready that will be a beautiful, welcoming home
for all of us and our work together
2.
a better Tidbit
Forum is being developed that will let us share ideas more
easily
3.
a new series
of web calls hosted by Jane Taylor will start soon so we can connect
live
4.
a new webinar
series on Collaborative Care will begin in September 2016.
The first is called "The Basics - Getting Started"
5.
planning
is underway for the Second Annual Meeting of the
Collaborative Care Learning Network which will be in San Antonio in
February 2017
- please reply to
this email if you would like to be part of the planning committee!!
Also, some really great meetings are happening this summer and
fall that you may want to attend:
- 7th Annual Meeting of
the Institute for Patient and Family Centered Care (New York, July 2016)
- All Together Better
Health VIII - Values-Based Interprofessional Practice and Education (Oxford,
UK, September 2016)
- Taos Institute
Meeting on Relational Practices in Health and Healthcare (Cleveland, November
2016)
Finally, to renew our Tidbits you might enjoy watching
these YouTube videos of collaborative rounds in Salina, Kansas. Turn
up the volume a little because the iPhone audio recording is not perfect, and
the video is in two parts because the phone stopped recording.
But it will give you a good picture of what one care
team is trying to do every day.
Watch especially the warmth and participation of the patient
and family, who are in the middle of three weeks of being critically ill in the
ICU with heart failure and kidney failure.
Paul
