SUMMARY:Kokua Mau Meeting February 2023 Compassionate Care and Evidence-Based Practice: Is it possible for them to co-exist?
DESCRIPTION:Compassionate Care and Evidence-Based Practice: Is it possible for them to co-exist?\n\n\n\nPlease join us on Thursday 2/23 for a presentation by Steven Ito our own Dr. Pat Nishimoto. \n\n\n\nSteven Ito\, FNP-c\, CEO Ohana Pacific Medical\, will be sharing about their innovative practice that combines home visits and a kupuna health clinic. They were using telehealth and telemonitoring before the pandemic and work with all health plans to address isolation\, lack of transportation and difficulties in accessing medical resources. Steven’s training in Family Medicine and clinical experiences in the Urgent Care setting led to his passion in specializing in Home Visit Based Programs for Kupuna.  To learn more visit www.ohanapacificmedical.org \n\n\n\nDr. Pat Nishimoto\, Oncology Nurse Specialist at Tripler for many decades and recently (kinda) retired. \n\n\n\nEBP has come to dominate in clinical practice – seeing research evidence as knowledge while silencing other conceptions of knowledge!  \n\n\n\n\nWhat happens when there is no known research on alleviating pain experience of a patient and he/she asks you about complementary medicine? \n\n\n\nWhat happens when we do not believe the patient’s story because it does not fit in an EBP frame of knowledge? Do they become invisible because we invalidate their experience? \n\n\n\n\nTo get ready for this interesting topic\, here is an updated lit review \n\n\n\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9116004/pdf/12904_2022_Article_942.pdf \n\n\n\nRegister in advance for the monthly meeting. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email with details on how to join the zoom meeting. \n\n\n\nPlease join us for our Virtual Monthly Meeting on zoom\, to learn\, laugh\, mingle and network. Subscribe to our eNewsletter for the most up-to-date information and zoom log-ins for the specific month. As the date draws close and the speakers or topics are confirmed we will post it here.  \n\n\n\nA recording of many of our meetings are available on our YouTube channel\, in case you might have missed it.

The laws are very similar and their experiences are very relevant. They will be sharing data from the first two years\, information on provider and community education as well as the experiences from a Kaiser physician that is assisting in implementing the law in their region. \nTue. August 28\n9 am to 10:30 AM Hawaii time \nAbout the Presenters:\nLael Duncan\, MD\, is the Medical Director for the Coalition for Compassionate Care of California. She is an expert educator on Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST)\, end-of-life communication between patients and providers\, advance care planning\, and legislation that impacts end-of-life care in California. Dr. Duncan consults with health care organizations\, medical providers and communities to improve access to care that honors patient values. \nDr. Duncan is a licensed California physician with more than 15 years of clinical practice in internal medicine\, infectious disease\, and long term acute care for patients with multi-system disease.

He enjoys collaborating with Southern California Kaiser Permanente’s eleven full-time ethicists and various task forces\, including for California’s end-of-life option act\, in developing or reviewing regional policies and ethics quality improvement projects. \nJudy Thomas\, JD\, is CEO of the Coalition for Compassionate Care of California\, a statewide partnership of healthcare providers\, non-profit organizations and associations\, state agencies and individuals working to ensure all seriously-ill Californians receive quality\, compassionate care.
