Our Vision
SupportiveCareNetwork aims to create a network of qualified providers across a continuum of care settings that can deliver the medically appropriate wellness care outcomes for serious and chronically ill populations in every region across the U.S. We are equipped as and can be the change agents to bring about an integrated network of care providers that uphold a common set of quality care standards based on evidence-based research, by traversing existing industry silos that separate patient care by payer source and care setting.
CME/CEU Training
Multi-media approach for more effective learning: from on-demand videos to interactive classroom sessions and real-time patient interactions.
Our Wellness and Supportive Care training is designed to be highly interactive and experiential: you learn by doing. Our philosophy for patient care is outcomes-driven, not activity-based. This mindset extends even to our training: the video series is role-based, so you can see how an effective family meeting is set up or conducted. The classroom training encourages a high degree of participant engagement. The evaluation for success is not a paper exam, but the outcomes which can be achieved by the participant through interactions with real patients.
