Supporting the Family Caregiver
The role of the treatment team in supporting the family caregiver. What you will learn from this module: Learn the physical and emotional needs of the caregiver managing the patient at home. Understand the stress and challenges loved ones face while caregiving. Realize that oftentimes the oncologist’s focus is solely on the patient and not on the loved one who is caregiving. Understand that a caregiver for a patient might be someone outside of the family- like a close friend. This can be due to the lack of family members, dysfunctional family dynamics, or ages of family members (young and old).
Effective Strategies for Shared Decision-Making in T2D Care
Healthcare providers (HCPs) encounter significant challenges when treating patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). HCPs should be cognizant of when to change or intensify treatment and be aware of options that are non-optimal. As such, HCPs need to be equipped with current professional guidelines, the latest clinical evidence on new and emerging therapies for T2D, and strategies for engaging patients in shared decision-making to effectively prioritize weight management and promote comprehensive T2D care.
The Importance of Being Honest
Of everything we do for our patients, the most important thing we can give them is honesty. What you will learn from this module: Learn that being honest with patients about their disease and its prognosis is very important for patients to know so they can plan out the remainder of their lives. Honesty doesn’t take away hope; it helps the patient move through phases of hope. 50% of the time, doctors do not disclose the patients’ actual prognosis. Patients do not understand or know the difference between palliative chemotherapy and active chemotherapy treatments, unless they are told.  Teaching patients to be optimistic for as long as it is realistic, while having an end of life plan in place should be our mantra. Avoidance of honesty may be linked to an oncologist’s feelings of believing they have failed the patient by not being able to save or sustain their life.
Key Questions at Your Patient's First Consultation
Beyond the general questions routinely asked at the time of an initial consultation, there are additional thought provoking questions that will elicit answers that will be very informative and serve as a baseline for future discussions. Such questions need to be periodically asked again, during future visits, especially when decisions are being made around treatment options and/or end of life care.

Be able to teach a patient how their breast cancer treatments and prognosis may be different from other metastatic breast cancer patients they meet. Determine the optimal way to provide this education so it is understood by your patient.
Shared Decision Making
It is a process that fosters shared decision making that includes exploring and comparing the benefits, harms, and risks of each health care option through meaningful dialogue about what matters most to the patient. The doctor and patient need to use evidence-based information while working together to make the best possible treatment decisions.
The Value and Importance of Not Postponing Joy
Educating your advanced cancer patients about the value and importance of not postponing joy. There is a tendency to avoid discussing the future, too far in advance, with your patients with advanced disease. The sooner we bring up the topic of not postponing joy, the better however. Patients may even say that they are planning on a family vacation to Disney World in 2 years. Your thoughts immediately go to estimating when she will be likely too ill to go but may not be verbalizing this to her. You don’t want to take away hope and burst that bubble. It however isn’t fair to the patient to be assuming that no response from you regarding such an announcement, or worse, saying that this sounds great, is doing her an injustice. Additionally, though she may still be living in two years and technically able to go to Disney World, she may very well be spending her time in the hotel room and not enjoying herself and her children/grandchildren doing park activities. Her goal wasn’t to be in a bed too weak to partake of this important family adventure. This is why a discussion about “Don’t Postpone Joy” is so important. It fits for many clinical settings too.
