Palliative care (PC) is a national and global priority, yet there is insufficient knowledge regarding PC among generalist clinicians. An interdisciplinary educational initiative was implemented to enhance a hospital workforce's PC knowledge and skills. More than 1000 clinicians attended at least 1 of 27 educational offerings. Measurable gains were evident in key outcome measures including PC referrals and advanced directive documentation. Changes reflected a transformation of workforce culture and resulted in 2 national awards for improving PC.
缓和医疗(PC)是一个国家和全球的优先事项,但普通临床医生对 PC 的了解不足。实施了一项跨学科教育计划,以提高医院工作人员的 PC 知识和技能。超过 1000 名临床医生参加了至少 27 次教育活动中的 1 次。关键结果指标包括 PC 转诊和高级指令文件,都显示出可衡量的收益。这些变化反映了劳动力文化的转变,并因此获得了 2 项改善 PC 的国家奖项。
