Hope and Realism: Partnering With Patients and Families Who Hope for Cure Despite Poor Prognoses
Objectives and Disclosures
Participants will be able to:
- Assess the value of prognostic communication in serious childhood illness, including evidence-based communication strategies to encourage honest prognostic disclosure.
- Analyze the false dichotomy of ‘hope’ vs. ‘realism’ in the context of incurable illness
- Review a novel conceptual model co-designed by bereaved parents to reimagine the meaning and purpose of hope while recognizing the reality of incurable disease.
