Many provide skilled care and comfort for patients and their families at the end of life.

The Vital Role of Community-Centered Care During a Pandemic

(3 min read)

The COVID-19 pandemic tested the limits of healthcare systems worldwide. In May 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) published a guide to help countries strengthen the resilience of community-based health services throughout the pandemic and beyond.

The Latest Technology Platform Fixes & Enhancements

📣🌟New Feature: ACP Decisions Quick Start🌟📣

Are your clinicians too busy to login to the system to view content or prescribe codes?

ACP Decisions Quick Start was inspired by the desire to make it as easy as possible to share information with your patients during the pandemic and beyond. We do this by providing pre-made codes that are accessible via simple links. Because the codes are pre-made, clinicians do not need to access the platform to view or share content. The same links can be shared with multiple patients and clinicians.

More details about this feature can be found in your email inbox with subject: Tackle Vaccine Hesitancy using the *New* ACP Decisions Quick Start on April 16th. If you're interested in enabling this feature for your organization for any of the videos in our video collection, please contact Read here for more information about how to share directions from the iOS app.

Be sure to check with your IS team about the resources and protocols in place at your organization for sharing details with patients electronically before using these features.
