This model of care is appropriate for any person at any stage of a life-threatening illness, regardless of age. Source: CNA Position Statement. Providing Care at the End of Life.

9 The trajectory of dying is changing Chronic disease accounts for more than 72% of all deaths in Canada As Canadians age with chronic illnesses and frailties, and as younger Canadians continue to face life-limiting and chronic illnesses, they are all both living and dying.

23 An integrated palliative approach is better for the health-care system Addresses hospitalizations and use of interventions Health-care providers in the community are educated and skilled Support when needed by specialist palliative care team All nurses in all settings of practice are education and skilled and are supported in implementing the palliative approach

24 How do we make this happen?

27 Interprofessional teams 10 community-based consult teams for 12 communities Advance practice nurses, physician, social worker/ and volunteer coordinator Nurse coordinator primarily responsible

28 Key roles for Registered Nurses When it comes to the integrated palliative approach to care, nurses get it. They are best placed to link together primary and secondary care services and to create partnerships. The Way Forward. Innovative Models of Integrated Hospice Palliative Care

29 Key roles for Registered Nurses Nurse navigators Advocate, educate, support Information exchange

30 Support for nurses in long-term care Nursing staff wanting more education to support their knowledge, skills, confidence Better team work/communication Inadequate staffing Grief burden Source: Quality Palliative Care in Long-Term Care: A Community-University Research Alliance.
