SUMMARY:Palliative Pupus (zoom) Sept 2025
DESCRIPTION:We’d like to invite you to zoom only Palliative Pupus. \n\n\n\nThis month: Hospice Mauiʻs Interdisciplinary Team will be presenting a complex palliative care and hospice case involving a single mother of two young children who experienced a recurrence of aggressive metastatic breast cancer. The case was marked by challenging family dynamics\, conflicting goals of care\, and difficult-to-manage symptoms. Navigating care required creative problem-solving and full engagement of our interdisciplinary team to ensure compassionate\, coordinated support for both the patient and her family. \n\n\n\nOur exciting local bi-monthly networking and clinical education opportunity on zoom. Come participate in an interactive interdisciplinary story from the cutting edge of hospice and palliative care and mingle with colleagues from all over the islands on zoom. If you are involved with palliative care cases\, you are invited. Please tell your colleagues and friends.  \n\n\n\nAt the May meeting we meet on zoom only\, to include neighbor islands and others on zoom. \n\n\n\nHow does Palliative Pupus work?\n\n\n\nThe theme and presenters for each ‘Palliative Pupus’ is announced one to two weeks prior to the meeting date via our Kōkua Mau eNewsletter. If you are not receiving our eNewsletter yet\, please subscribe here and we will keep you informed. \n\n\n\nWhat is Palliative Pupus?\n\n\n\nOur first successful Palliative Pupus meeting was held November 17\, 2010 and has since become a bi-monthly event every third Wednesday of the month. (Except November due to Thanksgiving) \n\n\n\nThe model is an informal\, interactive\, collegial\, pau hana to present and discuss challenging cases as a group.  Palliative Pupus is for clinicians in a variety of fields: doctors\, nurses\, social workers\, chaplains.

SUMMARY:Kokua Mau Meeting Sept 2025
DESCRIPTION:MyDirectives digital ACP solutions\n\n\n\nThur Sept 25 12 noon – 1:30pm \n\n\n\nPlease note that this month’s meeting starts at NOON since our speaker lives on the East Coast. Invite your colleagues who are interested in this possible solution for Hawaii. \n\n\n\nHigh-quality digital advance care planning (ACP) enables patients’ voices to be heard across all points of care. When advance directives\, mental health advance directives (MHADs)\, and portable medical orders (POLST) are accessible in real time\, care teams can honor patient healthcare goals and preferences\, reduce unnecessary and unwanted treatments\, and lessen the emotional burden on families and clinicians \n\n\n\nHere in Hawaii we continue to look for solutions to help make sure that documents can be found when they are needed. I reached out to MyDirectives as I have heard them present at national meetings AND they are interested in helping Hawaii succeed.  \n\n\n\nPlease join us to hear from MyDirectives about their digital ACP solutions. They have a nationwide registry and work with each state to create comprehensive systems that allow the entire healthcare community – providers\, health plans\, first responders\, state agencies\, HIEs/HDUs\, and quality organizations to access documents any where\, any time. In Hawaiʻi\, this approach can accelerate adoption of best practices\, streamline deployment across care settings — including for EMS and fire teams providing care in the field — and deliver the reporting and analytics needed to measure impact on quality and cost.  \n\n\n\nJoin Jessica Zan\, Vice President of Clinical Integration at MyDirectives\, to explore how Hawaiʻi can build a comprehensive ACP ecosystem that improves outcomes for patients\, families\, and the healthcare system as a whole. \n\n\n\n\nRegister in advance for this meeting\n\n\n\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
