Short Takes Collaboration Announced Between California State University Institute for Palliative Care and NHPCO On the opening day of NHPCO's 30th Management and Leadership Conference, a new collaboration between the CSU Institute for Palliative Care (Institute) and NHPCO giving NHPCO members expanded access to affordable online and in-person educational programming was announced. The collaboration between NHPCO and the CSU Institute for Palliative Care gives NHPCO members access to current and future educational programming, providing NHPCO members with a discounted price for all educational offerings. NHPCO President and CEO J. Donald Schumacher stated, "The collaboration between NHPCO and the Institute will help hospices expand into providing community based palliative care and obtain the quality educational content needed in this challenging health care environment. Hospices nationwide are delivering more facility, clinic, and home-based palliative care programs and now our members will have greater access and discounted rates for the in-depth educational content created by the Institute." Since its inception in 2012, the CSU Institute for Palliative Care has trained over 800 health care professionals from across the U.S. and around the world - nurses, social workers, chaplains and allied health professionals. The Institute knows and 38 NHPCO NewsLine | Summer 2015 understands workforce development. California State University trains 15 percent of the nation's graduating health care workforce. The Institute's palliative care faculty includes experts in all the core palliative care disciplines. In addition to training professionals, the Institute works with organizations, teaching leaders how to build, promote and grow palliative care services. The Institute's Executive Director, Helen McNeal said, "Our palliative care programs incorporate best practices and proven tools and techniques. Our online and in-person education is delivered using state-of-the art interactive techniques that ensure learning that is immediately applicable in the workplace. One of the biggest barriers to the expansion of palliative care, both inpatient and community-based, is the availability of a trained workforce. By collaborating with NHPCO, we help hospices who want to expand into palliative care and train new and existing staff about delivering palliative care from point of diagnosis onwards."
