1 Poster Session HRT11420 Innovation Awards November 2014 Melbourne Goals of Patient Care Summary Presenter: Dr Barbara Hayes Hospital Code Name:

2 SIGNIFICANCE The Goals of Patient Care (GOPC) Summary: facilitates proactive shared decision-making to establish medical treatment goals & treatment limitations Person Centred Care Advance Care Planning Raising awareness It brings together Capturing & implementing prior planning Shared decision-making for potential deterioration Medical Treatment Goals Emergency treatment escalation and limits (CPR/MET) CPR/NFR decision-making

3 Key problem Summary Need for greater pro-active decisions for deteriorating patients regarding treatment escalation and limits Aim of Innovation Increased pro-active discussions / documentation re medical treatment goals + appropriate limits to treatment escalation What we did Introduced Goals of Patient Care Summary (based on Southern Tasmania Goals of Care) Outcomes Increased documentation of medical treatment goals / limits

4 KEY PROBLEM Medical Emergency Team must often make decisions about end-of-life care: For a patient they do not know In a crisis At a time when it is more difficult to have a detailed discussion with the patient / medical substitute decisionmaker / family / other clinicians who know the patient Could we do this better?

5 AIM OF THIS INNOVATION Goal of Patient Care (GOPC) to be completed for: All medical admissions Surgical admissions 65yrs+ Other patients as indicated To collect accurate patient information regarding Prior Advance Care Planning Medical substitute decision-maker To identify overall goals for medical treatment To identify appropriate treatment escalation and limits Aim for 80% of GOPC to be completed <48hrs

6 BASELINE DATA Multi-centre study of MET Calls at seven sites in Australia, Canada and Sweden (including Northern Health) Prospective one month study of MET Calls for 518 patients Results: One third of Medical Emergency Calls involve initiating medical treatment limitations or initiating end-of-life care Jones D et al. Crit Care Med 2012

7 KEY CHANGES IMPLEMENTED Goals of Patient Care (GOPC) was developed and implemented as part of Accreditation Standard 9 Pilot of GOPC on one ward GOPC amended and education updated Extensive health service-wide education; GOPC + Advance Care Planning + CPR decision-making Implementation of GOPC on all wards / withdrawal of previous Limitation of Medical Treatment forms Continuous feedback from ICU liaison / Admitting Unit Physicians feedback to wards and refined education

8 OUTCOMES SO FAR Treatment Goal Category A. Curative/Restorative no limitations B. Curative/Restorative with limitations C. Non burdensome treatment & symptom management D. Terminal care for dying patient % completed < 48hrs 81% 60% of 168 files of 169 files

9 LESSONS LEARNT Prepare well before implementing Consult widely with Senior Medical Staff, Nursing Staff to develop support and ownership and to get feedback Put in place education for all medical / nursing staff and advice about how to obtain further information Support from Senior Medical Staff is essential ICU and ICU liaison provide real-time feedback to treating team if called to Medical Emergency Call when appropriate treatment limitations have not been considered It takes time to bring about culture change
