SUMMARY:Advancing Caregiver Support in Cancer Care: Initial Results from the INCITE Training Program
DESCRIPTION:Family caregivers play a vital role in supporting individuals living with cancer\, yet many healthcare organizations continue to face challenges in effectively integrating caregiver support into routine care. As recognition of caregivers’ contributions grows\, so does the need for practical strategies that translate evidence into sustainable programs and practice. \nJoin Allison Applebaum\, PhD\, FAPOS\, Director of the Steven S. Elbaum Family Center for Caregiving\, and J. Nicholas Odom\, PhD\, RN\, University of Alabama at Birmingham\, for a discussion of the INcreasing Caregiver Support Implementation through Training and Education (INCITE) Training Program\, a national initiative designed to help cancer center teams strengthen their capacity to implement evidence-informed caregiver support practices. Through training\, technical assistance\, and organizational change strategies\, INCITE aims to advance the integration of family caregiver support into routine cancer care. \nDuring this webinar\, speakers will share early findings from the INCITE Training Program and discuss insights from participating cancer centers. The conversation will explore implementation successes and challenges\, lessons learned\, and promising opportunities for embedding caregiver support more effectively within cancer care delivery. Participants will gain practical insights into how healthcare organizations can move from recognizing the importance of family caregivers to building sustainable systems that support them. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Caregiver Training Services in Practice: Utilization\, Impact\, and Implementation
DESCRIPTION:Medicare’s Caregiver Training Services (CTS) reimburse certain providers for delivering structured training and education to family caregivers when those skills are necessary for the patient’s treatment plan. These codes represent a new avenue for caregiver support and are beginning to be implemented across healthcare systems. This session will examine how these efforts are emerging and what early adopters are learning. \nFeaturing national insights from organizations advancing awareness and advocacy around CTS codes\, along with perspectives from healthcare providers integrating the CTS codes into practice\, the webinar will offer a clear look at both the policy landscape and on the ground implementation. Participants will gain practical resources and strategies to strengthen caregiver engagement and embed caregiver support within existing care models. \nJoin Rush University Medical Center\, AARP\, and the National Alliance for Caregiving for this important discussion on advancing support for family caregivers and strengthen care delivery. \nSpeakers:\n\nStephanie Bailey\, LCSW\, Licensed Clinical Social Worker\, Rush University Medical Center\nRita Choula\, MA\, Senior Director\, Caregiving\, AARP Public Policy Institute\nJulianna Cuozzo\, MSW\, Policy Advisor\, AARP Public Policy Institute\nDiane Mariani\, LCSW\, CADC\, Program Manager\, Rush University Medical Center\nYadira Montoya\, MSPH\, Programs Director\, National Alliance for Caregiving\n\nDownload PDF

SUMMARY:From Insights to Action: Practical Methods for Integrating Caregivers into Care Delivery
DESCRIPTION:Building on our March webinar\, where we explored why family caregivers are essential partners in complex care\, this session will focus on how health systems are integrating them into care delivery. \nLearn how hospitals and health systems are testing\, implementing\, and expanding caregiver support programs across different caregiving contexts and patient populations. The session will also highlight resources on Medicare’s Caregiver Training Services reimbursement codes which can be leveraged to better assess and support family caregivers. \nJoin us for this important discussion outlining what it takes to support family caregivers across different health care settings. \nSpeakers:\n\nJoan M. Griffin\, PhD\, Professor of Health Services Research\, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine\nYadira Montoya\, MSPH\, Programs Director\, National Alliance for Caregiving\nJoshua Suire\, MHA\, BSN\, RN\, Director\, Safety & Quality\, MHA Keystone Center\nJosette Rivera\, MD\, Division of Geriatrics\, University of California San Francisco\n\nDownload PDF

SUMMARY:Strengthening Complex Care Through Family Caregiver Integration
DESCRIPTION:Life-saving treatments—such as organ transplant and cancer therapy—represent major clinical milestones\, but they also mark the beginning of a demanding and long-term caregiving journey. Across many areas of care\, family caregivers quickly become essential partners\, managing complex medication regimens\, coordinating frequent appointments\, monitoring symptoms\, and supporting daily recovery needs. These responsibilities continue long after discharge\, shaping long‑term wellbeing\, and influencing health outcomes over time. \nGrounded in transplant and oncology\, this session will highlight why integrating caregivers and supporting their psychosocial needs is a strategic imperative for health systems—improving patient outcomes and strengthening care delivery. The insights shared apply broadly to many serious and chronic conditions that require high levels of care coordination and caregiver support. Together\, we will explore both the clinical importance and the business case for supporting family caregivers as essential members of the care team. Participants will also receive resources for implementing or enhancing caregiver support programs. \nSpeakers:\n\nYadira Montoya\, MSPH\, Programs Director\, National Alliance for Caregiving\nAllison Silvers\, MBA\, Chief Healthcare Transformation Officer\, Center to Advance Palliative Care\nDavid J. Taber\, PharmD\, MS\, FAST\, Professor\, Medical University of South Carolina and Clinical Pharmacy Specialist\, Ralph H Johnson VA Medical Center\nRanak Trivedi\, PhD\, FGSA\, FSBM\, Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences\, Stanford University\n\nDownload PDF
