Intended AudienceThe Annual Assembly of the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine (AAHPM) and the Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association (HPNA) is designed for physicians, nurses, and other healthcare providers interested in acquiring, maintaining, or expanding the skills needed to function effectively in the field of hospice and palliative care.

PurposeAs leaders in promoting excellence in hospice and palliative care, AAHPM and HPNA combine their expertise to advance the field, thus meeting the shared goal of improving quality of life for patients and families facing serious or life-threatening conditions.

Objectivesthe participant will be able to

• translate advances in clinical and scientific knowledge of advanced disease processes, symptoms, and symptom management into improved patient care

• assess patient pain and other symptoms and side effects and recommend a care plan based upon best available evidence

• identify psychological, spiritual, social, and cultural aspects of patient care, and integrate support of those aspects of patient care into an overall plan of care

• apply sound communication principles with patients, families, and interdisciplinary teams

• develop patient plans of care that incorporate interdisciplinary assessments and symptom management across all domains of care that are ultimately based on the expressed values, goals, and needs of the patient and family

• identify ethical, regulatory, and legal concerns related to hospice and palliative care

• discuss effective strategies and challenges for the delivery and advocacy of hospice and palliative care in diverse settings

• identify new contacts for future collaboration

• facilitate future research in hospice and palliative care

• identify opportunities for enhanced self-care and resilience

• apply effective strategies using hospice and palliative care competencies in teaching and learning situations

• identify opportunities and strategies for effective leadership within the field of hospice and palliative care

• identify opportunities to influence, initiate, maintain, and advance the practice and sustainability of palliative care within the healthcare environment.

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND Open Your Mind and Reignite Your Passion for Your WorkGain knowledge for your clinical work and strategies for your administrative responsibilities. Learn the latest scientific advances. Get inspired and invigorated by captivating speakers who will remind you why you chose to work in hospice and palliative care.

Make Connections and Learn from the Best and the BrightestJoin 2,500 hospice and palliative care professionals who meet once each year. In no other setting do so many of your peers come together to share best practices, ask questions, and build long-lasting relationships.

Impact the Care of Your Patients When you return to your institution, you’ll approach your team with new knowledge of the latest scientific developments and a rekindled passion for the work you do. Think of what this will mean to you, your patients, their families, and your institution.

Modern and historic buildings stand side by side in the downtown Gaslamp District, housing shops and boutiques, trendy nightclubs, sizzling music venues, sky-high rooftop bars, and fine dining.

Here is just a sampling of what you can enjoy in this vibrant urban paradise:

• Dine at any of the fabulous downtown restaurants, many featuring celebrity chefs.

• Lounge at an outside café in Little Italy with a cup of cappuccino and watch the people go by.

• Tour Petco Park, where the San Diego Padres play.

• View the “Urban Trees” sculptures along San Diego’s Embarcadero.

• Explore the ships at the USS Midway Museum.

With legendary weather, beautiful beaches, and a friendly, laid-back vibe, San Diego is a destination that you won’t want to miss. Learn more about the city and upcoming events at SanDiego.org.

Preconference IntensivesNew this year, four full-day preconference workshops will offer deeper dives specifically targeted to your needs.

• Hospice Medical Directors Review Course. Prepare for the first Hospice Medical Director Certification exam scheduled for May 2014. This intensive review is based on the exam blueprint (www.hmdcb.org). The course also serves as a great orientation for those new to the hospice field or as a critical update for all hospice practitioners and managers. Featured faculty include Heather Wilson, PhD; Kathleen Faulkner, MD FAAHPM; Joy Berry, MEd RN LNC; and Edward Martin, MD.

• Addressing Goals of Care: Intensive Small Group Training. Based on the respected and popular OncoTalk and PalliTalk model, this session will include a mix of short didactic presentations and experiential practice with trained actors. Esteemed faculty include Robert Arnold, MD FAAHPM, Anthony Back, MD, and James Tulsky, MD FAAHPM FACP, who will be joined by a team of facilitators to help participants develop a communication model for handling the difficult conversations that are common for hospice and palliative care clinicians. Space is limited, so register early!

• Physician Engagement and Communication. For system integration to work, physicians must support and engage in a collaborative organizational structure and culture. This session, presented by Jim Beeson, MD, will require attendees to examine systems that result in physician loyalty and discover effective techniques to manage difficult physician behaviors. Participants will learn how to create accountable leadership structures, train physicians to execute an organizational vision, appreciate forms of communication in organizations, and understand what better performers do to engage their physicians.

• APRN Certification Preparation Review. The Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association (HPNA) supports nurses looking to advance their professional development and career with specialty certification. This course will review concepts of the content areas based on the NBCHPN® detailed test content outline to assist the advanced practice nurse in self-identifying topics that require further preparation and study for the specialty certification examination.

Required Text: Core Curriculum for the Advanced Practice Nurse—order online from the HPNA Specialty Shoppe

Educational ForumsThese hour-long sessions will feature educational forums with unique content geared toward public policy and advocacy and the practice of palliative medicine in developing countries presented by the Developing Countries Scholarship recipients. Plan to participate in these informative “extras.”

Research ConsultationSign up on site for a time to meet with a member of the AAHPM or HPNA Research Committees or Scientific Subcommittee who will help you

• work on your draft abstract for future submissions

• tighten specific aims of a proposed study

• review the outline of a draft manuscript

• consider next steps in your program of research.

Billing and Coding ConsultationDue to overwhelming demand, Jean Acevedo, LHRM CPC CHC CENTC, of Acevedo Consulting Incorporated, will provide brief sessions available to all on common billing and coding issues during the Annual Assembly in addition to offering individual consultations. Take advantage of having access to one of the most respected experts in the field during your time in San Diego.
