Working with the Guide
Working with the Guide workshops offer an opportunity to work directly with Guide chapters. During the workshop participants will view videos of patients recounting their own experience of illness, engage in writing exercises and interactive discussions while receiving coaching from workshop leaders. The workshop can be tailored to meet the specific needs of participants.
The Guide was developed to help patients facing serious illness and their loved ones identify and communicate questions and concerns to healthcare providers, leading to a better understanding of treatment options and goals of care. As Dr. Allan Eisemann, medical director of Rutland Regional Cancer Center and Palliative Care notes, “Physicians, nurses and social workers are more fully engaged by listening to and reading patient comments. The Guide opens doors to better communication.”
