Integration

Hard Copy for Notes Only: Summary Form 3

Visit Summary Form: submission

A major goal of the Palliative Care Clerkship is for you to critically assess clinicians delivering palliative care to patients and families. In particular for you to pay close attention to:

• What behaviors did the clinician use during the visit?
• How well did these behaviors solicit the patient/family story (expressed values and goals)?
• How did these behaviors affect the patient/family/clinician/you as an observer?
• How these behaviors promoted or inhibited the integration of palliative/hospice care into the patient’s and family’s care plan.
• How the patient’s/family’s behavior promoted or inhibited the integration of palliative/hospice care into the plan of care.
• Developing the skill of summarizing the patient/family story (expressed values and goals).
• Discussing with your preceptors what occurs during a clinical encounter.
• Providing feedback to your preceptor on the encounter.

Visit Summary 3 is optional. The Visit Summary should be submitted via the web no later than the final Friday of the clerkship.  Your preceptors have requested a copy of your completed Visit Summary as a way of receiving feedback from you on what you thought occurred during the visit.  Additionally one of the chronic care clerkship faculty will review your Visit Summary and also provide educational feedback to you.
