Patient Safety or Be an Advocate for The Ones You Love

With medical errors the 3rd leading cause of death in the United States, it’s time the patient and their family members understand what needs to be done from the bedside to improve outcomes.  It’s not about “blame” it’s about what we need to do to all be part of the team!

20 minutes to one hour

 

Small Group Discussions Patient Activation Through Community Conversation

Pulse’s Patient Activation Through Community Conversations (PACC) program creates a forum for people to share their experiences, providing those in similar circumstances with insight and recommendations. PACC is not meant to be a “support group” but instead a learning group in which participants facing healthcare decisions may benefit from the group’s conversations.

A Community Conversation is meant to be a ninety-minute session hosted in someone’s home, a church or other religious community, a library or another quiet, private meeting space. Groups should be no more than 12 people and no fewer than six, with a trained facilitator to lead the program.  Participants are encouraged to share their experiences following the guided questions and topics are chosen by the participants at the start of the conversation.

Participants do not give advice use words like “you should,” and all discussions must be in the first person. More details can be found at www.pulsecenterforpatientsafety.org

Approximately 1 hour to 90 Minutes

 

The Elephant in the Room/ Dispelling the Myth of Being Transgender

Are you curious about how you might address someone who may be transgender?  Do you know someone who is but not sure what to say to them about their new name, pronoun or new look?  This safe and candid discussion will help dispel the myth and answer the most uncomfortable questions.  This program is offered with myself and a transgender man.  Minimum 1 hour.
