Effective Strategies for Managing Fatigue in Serious Illness

Fatigue is a pervasive and often debilitating symptom for patients with serious illness, significantly impacting their quality of life. Understanding the underlying causes—ranging from disease-related factors to treatment side effects—is essential for clinicians to provide effective care. This presentation will explore these causes and their implications for patient well-being.

In this Interprofessional Grand Rounds session, presenters will share evidence-based strategies for assessing and managing fatigue, covering both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. Participants will learn practical tools and approaches to integrate into clinical practice, improving patient outcomes. The session will emphasize the importance of tailoring fatigue management plans to meet each patient’s unique needs and preferences, underscoring the value of collaborative teamwork. By fostering interprofessional collaboration, we can enhance the overall care experience and support patients in managing fatigue more effectively. Join us for this to empower your practice and energize your patients' care journey.
