SimLab Cases:

1. …arises in the ED with an EMS arrival of a mom with a probable SIDS baby.
2. …a baby who has had several episodes of bradycardia/arrest and although resuscitated is suffering from a potentially and likely fatal illness.

Desired Outcomes:

• Participants will gain perspective about communication in serious illness, including evidence regarding commonly used interventions, such as “complex care meetings.”
• Participants will recognize how approaching difficult communication early serves to decrease moral distress throughout the care continuum.
• Participants will have increased awareness of evidence based communication tools that may be tailored for use with patients of all ages.
