In this picture here, I'm in what is called an interdisciplinary group meeting. This is a meeting where every week all branches of the hospice family meet up and discuss all the patients we take care of and if any of their situations have changed. All branches of staff attend like the medical director, registered nurse, social worker, chaplain, bereavement coordinator, manager of volunteer services, and the volunteers that take care of patients which is where I fall under. During these meetings I reported on all of my first impressions of my patients and gave my opinion on how they treated the care and if what I saw in these patients matched up with what the others directors had to say about the patient. Also, during this meeting every week the medical director brings up a list of all the people who have passed over the week, and hands it over to the bereavement coordinator where we begin to send out calls to the families to help them along with the grieving process. It's good to be able to see how an organization like this works on the inside, and it shows just how devoted these people are to make sure everyone is getting the best care they can receive.
