4 Planning for a Home Death Who pronounces death? Who is responsible for certification of death? Who does the family contact at time of death? What about the DNRC form? How do we help families prepare for death? Who makes sure everything gets done?
5 South East Local Health Integration Network Map
6 We Need a Plan! Working group established under the direction of the Palliative & End of Life Care Network Reported to the Service Delivery Committee of the Network Consultation with nurses, case managers, physicians, EMS, funeral directors
7 Do not resuscitate A plan of treatment is developed that reflects the expressed wish of the patient (or consent of the substitute decision maker for the person who is not capable) that CPR is not in the patient s plan of treatment. DNRC form is completed providing direction for EMS practitioners
8
9 The Yellow Folder
10 Yellow Folder Contents DNRC Form Yellow Magnet Algorithm Guidelines Brochure When Death Occurs at Home A checklist for Case Managers in folders at CCAC
11 What do you do with the magnet? The magnet is a signal that the yellow folder is in the home May be very helpful for EMS on a 911 call It is meant to be placed on the refrigerator door
12
13 The Algorithm A tool to assist with planning for pronouncement and certification of death Nurses (RN or RPN) can pronounce death Only a physician or RN(EC) can sign a death certificate

15 Avoid calling the coroner unless there are reasons to contact them Avoid transfer of the body to ER for pronouncement and certification It is inappropriate to sign a death certificate prior to the death
