9 What is Palliative Care? The study and management of patients with active, progressive, far-advanced disease for whom the prognosis is limited and the focus of care is quality of life. Oxford s Textbook of Palliative Medicine 9
10 Palliative Care... Affirms life. Regards dying as a normal process. Neither hastens nor postpones death. Provides relief from pain and other symptoms. Integrates the psychological and spiritual aspects of care. Provides support for patient and family. World Health Organization 10
11 Curative vs. Palliative Care Curative Disease driven Doctor in charge Disease process is primary Few choices Palliative Symptom driven Patient is in charge Disease process is secondary to person Many choices Comfort and quality of life 11

13 Myths and Misconceptions about Hospice 6. Hospice is just for cancer patients 7. Hospice care is for the very old 8. Patients must have a DNR in place to receive hospice care 9.

22 Spiritual Symptoms Despair/hopelessness Powerlessness Loneliness Need for reconciliation 22
23 Four Levels of Hospice Care Recognized by the Medicare Hospice Benefit Routine Home Care Continuous Care Inpatient Care Respite Care 23
24 Routine Home Care The basic and most frequently delivered level of hospice care. Is provided in the comfort of the patient s own home, family member s home, nursing home, assisted living facility, boarding home, or wherever the patient resides. 24
25 Routine Home Care May be delivered by dedicated, specialized teams such as: Nursing Home Team Assisted Living Team Cultural Diversity Team (ex: Spanish-speaking Team) Diagnosis Specialty Team (ex: ALS Team) Veterans Team 25
26 Continuous Care Short-term Acute symptom management Remains in their home setting 26
27 Continuous Care Criteria same as that for inpatient care Uncontrolled pain, respiratory distress, intractable nausea and vomiting, restlessness or agitation, Changes in level of consciousness, Or any other symptom resulting in distress to either the patient or family 27
28 Continuous Care Shifts of care For a minimum of 8 hours/day Up to 24 hours/day More than 50% of the hours must be provided by a licensed nurse The remaining hours may be staffed by a certified home health aide 28
29 Inpatient Care Short stays Management of acute symptoms that cannot be managed at home 29
30 Inpatient Care Criteria may include Uncontrolled pain, respiratory distress, intractable nausea and vomiting, restlessness or agitation Changes in level of consciousness Or any other symptom resulting in distress to either the patient or family 30
31 Inpatient Care May take place in a Stand-alone hospice facility Dedicated hospice wing/unit in a hospital or long-term care facility Or in contract beds within a hospital or LTC facility 31
32 Respite Care Short-term respite stay only when necessary to relieve the family members or other persons caring for the patient at home Provided on an occasional basis Limited to five consecutive days at a time May be provided in a Medicare-approved, contracted long-term care facility or a hospice inpatient facility 32
33 Coordination of Care in Facility Settings Hospice coordinates the patient s care with the staff in facility settings such as Nursing Homes, Assisted Living, Boarding Homes, and Personal Care Homes. 33
34 When is it Time? Patient Appropriateness Life-limiting illness Medicare regulations Six months or less prognosis Certification by two physicians Patient and/or family request When aggressive, curative treatment is determined to be futile When the burden of current therapies outweigh the benefits When it s time to focus on the patient, not on their disease 34
35 What brought me to hospice and why I love the work I do You are angels on earth. Thank you for telling me what to expect. Thank you for not making me feel like I was going crazy. You helped my Mom enjoy what time she had left. We couldn t have done this without you.
36 Early Access to Hospice Improves the quality of life for both patients and their loved ones. Is most beneficial when it is provided for months, rather than weeks or days. 36
37 Food for Thought The Journal of Pain and Symptom Management published research finding that Medicare beneficiaries who opted for end-of-life hospice care lived, on average, 29 days longer than similar patients who did not take advantage of hospice. 1 1 Connor SR, Pyenson B, Fitch K, Spence C, Iwasaki K. Comparing hospice and nonhospice patient survival among patients who die within a three-year window. J Pain Symptom Manage Mar;33(3):
38 Food for Thought VITAS Innovative Hospice Care patient surveys indicate that 99 percent of families wish they had known about hospice sooner. 2 2 Data on file at VITAS. 38
