Together with the Center to Advance Palliative Care and Ariadne Labs, we are changing the serious illness conversation through the Communication Skills Pathfinder.

The Communication Skills Pathfinder portal will enable every clinician to have high-quality conversations with the seriously ill patients they serve. By scaling best practices in clinician-patient communication—for both individual clinicians and organizations—we have a new national strategy for accelerating improvement in the care of serious illness.

Visit the Communication Skills Pathfinder.

Together, we are at the forefront of improving serious illness communication.
