Date & Time

Description

Are you wondering about family-framed approaches to advance care planning? Are you curious about the role of integrated behavioral health clinicians as educators on the team? This poster presents pilot study results, including interdisciplinary team members’ self-rated acceptability of Goodman and Funderburk’s (2024) structured microteaching approach in the context of family-framed advance care planning findings from a pilot. The poster also highlights the role of behavioral health clinicians as educators to address late advanced care planning in acute inpatient medical settings, integrating relational-systemic, patient-centered, and family-framed models. Future clinical and research directions are also discussed.
