Caring About the Caregiver: Ethics of Effective Collaboration

Event Description

The Practice Guidelines for Healthcare Funders and Managers (CASP, 2020) categorizes caregiver consultation as a critical feature of treatment. However, across the industry, caregiver consultation is rarely prioritized and when it is, the quality of this support is highly variable. Drawing on collective experiences, working with and for healthcare funders, the presenters will share common mistakes and missteps made by analysts when conceptualizing caregiver support. Our goal of this presentation is to establish a higher standard of care for clients by presenting proven practices, as well as a model of consultation, which we believe will lead to an increase in caregiver engagement. Tying ethics into the discussion, an additional aim of this presentation is to provide attendees with strategies to improve communication and enhance coordination with caregivers for the clients we serve.

2. Name two common mistakes or missteps made by analysts when conceptualizing caregiver involvement.
