      The key thing I learned in doing my interviews for #BeingMortal: People have goals and priorities for their care besides just living longer. We have to ask what they are and align our care with them. When we don't ask what's important to them, the result is profound suffering.

          Care planning is harm reduction, avoiding unnecessary treatments. Patient centred goal setting is health and well-being promotion ‘what is important to me’. #TheFromeModel #compassionatecommunities reduction in emergency admissions by 30%

          Terrific! For me as mom casemgr the silos & isolation were my kryptonite, depleting stores of resilience #HowMightWe extend & spread these ideas (build community, ⬇️ isolation, champion person-centered care plans that include & align what matters) to all PWI? @vmontori #hcldr

          I apologise for this but I can’t stand the phrase person centred care. Almost as obnoxious as social prescribing. We live and and meaning and value in the people and places around us. Network centred care expresses this in a better way.

          As a former healthcare professional and now a chronic illness Warrior, I couldn't agree more. Feeling as if I am being treated to manage me. That I am my illness. Rather than being honest and acknowledging that what I need help with is managing my family's and my expectations.

          More researchers are learning same thing from patients partnered in their studies. Great example re: study of more- vs. less-invasive heart valve replacement. PI: survival most important. Patients: "If we die, we die. We’re scared of becoming dependent."https://www.pcori.org/research-in-action/less-invasive-way-replace-heart-valve-newer-better …

          My father had to pull out all of his leads & lines 3x before the hospital would stop waking him every two hours to check his vitals. We got him into hospice for a beautiful dignified death surrounded by family & love as he wished. He was a few days shy of 95.

          That’s not to say he wasn’t #Misdiagnosed multiple times in the 10 years prior to his death. I vividly remember when his PCP told him he had #LewyBody. “Absolutely not!” I protested. “His onset of symptoms doesn’t support that!” Why did I know that & his gerontologist didn’t?

          This holds equally true for the caregivers of children and young adults who so often feel left out of the loop despite their practical expertise. A touch of kindness never hurts as well

          We are making some headway. More discussions about end of life care, more Palliative Care consults. But we are still struggling to ask the question”What kind of life do you want if you can survive this illness”? I doubt many would answer trach PEG, LTAC. We need more honesty
