Our first successful Palliative Pupus meeting was held November 17, 2010 and has since become a bi-monthly event every third Wednesday of the month.
May 16, 2012 Palliative Pupus:
This month's discussion will feature a case where the hospital-based palliative care team and the home hospice team had to resolve mutual concerns for patient safety including the potential for domestic violence. In a broader sense we will consider: when is it not safe to go home and who decides?
Example form the March 21, 2012 Meeting:
Please join us for an evening of networking and mutual learning. This month's cases (3/21/2012) will be infants with lethal congenital heart conditions. Discussion topics are expected to include pediatric palliative care, complex hospice cases, inter-island challenges, ethical dilemmas, and palliative sedation in children.
