SUMMARY:Making Information Available on Outpatient Surgery in California
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, July 29; Noon-1:30 p.m.\nSheraton Grand\, Gardenia Ballroom 1230 J Street Sacramento\, CA 95814 \nThousands of Californians use outpatient surgery centers for colonoscopies\, arthroscopies\, eye surgeries\, cosmetic and plastic surgeries\, endoscopies\, biopsies\, and other procedures.

The CHCF-commissioned research\, which includes a 50-state environmental scan comparing California with other states\, highlights the need for greater transparency and information on outpatient surgical centers. \nAmong the scheduled speakers: \n\n\nYvonne Choong\, senior director\, Center for Medical and Regulatory Policy\, California Medical Association \n\n\nBryce W.A. Docherty\, KP Public Affairs\, representing the California Ambulatory Surgery Association \n\n\nElizabeth Imholz\, director of special projects\, Consumers Union \n\n\nBrenda G. Klutz\, managing principal\, B&K Consulting \n\n\nMaribeth Shannon\, director\, Informing Decisionmakers\, CHCF \n\n\nLunch will be served to those in attendance. The briefing is open to all. \nREGISTER NOW to attend online\, in person\, or by phone.  \nContact:Danny Sandoval\, CHCFSacramento Office Manager & Program Associate916.329.4542dsandoval@chcf.org \n

SUMMARY:Health Literacy and Palliative Care
DESCRIPTION:On July 9\, 2015\, the Roundtable on Health Literacy will hold a workshop featuring invited presentations and discussions of the effect of low health literacy on all aspects of palliative care. In general\, low health literacy is a barrier to receiving high quality health care. This is particularly important for people living with serious or chronic illnesses that require complex management regimens and have significant symptoms or treatments with significant side effects. The ability to understand the scope of the illness\, what is necessary to treat the illness\, and how to live with serious illness as comfortably as possible is crucial to patient treatment outcomes and quality of life. \nThe workshop will cover end-of-life and advance illness care models and other areas of interest within palliative care. It will also include the interaction between patients\, families\, and providers\, as well as the knowledge of palliative care and its principles among providers. \nThe meeting will run from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. \nRegistration to attend the workshop in-person or via webcast is now open.
