Spirituality and Health Care Institute:
Compassionate Person-Centered Care: Strengthening Interdisciplinary Collaboration
Thursday, April 11, 2013
9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
Interdisciplinary collaboration is vital to integrated clinical care
which maximizes clinical outcomes, therapeutic goals,
and promotes health in mind, body, and spirit.
You are invited to join spiritual directors, chaplains and spiritual care providers, clergy, educators, health care providers, and others interested in holistic care to the fifth annual one-day educational and networking institute on spirituality and health care.
Henry Emmons, MD, integrative psychiatrist, will be the morning presenter. Experienced in the area of interdisciplinary collaboration, Dr. Emmons is a psychiatrist whose career has been animated by the desire to develop a more holistic approach to health care. He integrates mind-body and natural therapies, mindfulness and Buddhist teachings, and compassion and insight practices into his work.
Join in the afternoon dialogue among participants, presenters, and a panel moderated by David Moen, MD, physician and health care consultant, as we bring our varied disciplinary perspectives and experience to bear on a number of thought-provoking and challenging questions:
• Why is spiritual accompaniment, such as chaplaincy, pastoral care, and spiritual direction, vital to integrated clinical care?
• What are the goals shared by clinicians and spiritual care providers for compassionate person-centered care?
• What contextual factors enhance or constrain interdisciplinary collaboration for quality compassionate person-centered care?
• How might health care reform influence the need and opportunities for collaboration between clinicians and spiritual care providers?
