Proposal submissions to present at the 2024 Phoebe Institute on Aging (PIA) conference are now being accepted!

The next PIA Conference will take place on April 18, 2024. The theme is Compassion in Action. The application deadline is June 30, 2023.

A wide range of topics will be covered, but all relate to how compassionate care can support goals like workforce well-being, both long-term care resident and patient experience, safety, quality and innovation, as well as additional content to support caregivers and leaders during this challenging time.

Participants will learn how healthcare organizations around the world are improving quality, lowering costs, and strengthening patients’ and providers’ experience using compassionate, collaborative care. Our vision is to form a powerful community where every participant plays an integral role in sharing ideas, stimulating new thinking, and provoking the change that will better our healthcare system.

Through interactive experiential sessions with experts from diverse care settings and communities, this innovative conference focuses on fostering compassionate leaders across all healthcare professions and roles. Participants will leave the conference having gained inspiration as well as the knowledge & skills to improve care quality and outcomes, resident/patient experience, and workforce well-being through compassion and collaboration.

Conference Objectives:

• Empathy & Compassionate Care – the effects not only on the patient, but also the caregiver
• Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion – compassionate and inclusive conversations
• Economics & the ethics of healthcare
