December 10, 2020 – Utilizing  Pediatric Concurrent Care: Strategies from the Interdisciplinary Team with David Sine/Valley Children’s Hospital, Sean Hunt/Valley Children’s Hospital, Mary Tiso/Gilchrist Hospice, Melissa Hunt/Optum.  Section 2302 of the Affordable Care Act (deemed Concurrent Care for Children) allows children to receive curative-focused and life-prolonging therapies in conjunction with hospice care. But there are not clear guidelines on how hospices should implement this provision. This session will dive into some practical tips for using pediatric concurrent care by looking at case studies and sharing clinician experience from providers in the field.
