In June of 2021 the Serious Illness Care Program convened 35 experts in delivering serious illness care to underserved and marginalized communities with the goal of gaining insights into strategies that drive sustained and equitable improvements in serious illness conversations and care. This report outlines findings and recommendations from the convening.
This report details findings from a joint research initiative developed by Ariadne Labs and the Schmidt Institute in Bangor, Maine with funding provided by the Maine Health Access Foundation. The research team conducted 46 interviews with frontline medical, dental, nursing, EMS, behavioral health, long term care, tribal health, patient and community groups in Washington County, Maine. Researchers aimed to identify systemic constraints that affected Washington County residents’ ability to access and use health and social services and to understand what factors would have the most impact in removing barriers.
Developed in collaboration with The Conversation Project, the What Matters to Me Workbook is designed to help people with a serious illness get ready to talk to their health care team (doctor, nurse, social worker, etc.) about what is most important to them.
