USES OF PPSV2 Communication Verbal Charting Service allocation Drug benefit Plan P Service monitoring eg. LOS Workload Home Care and weekend visits PPS 10%-30% need much physical care in bed PPS 40%-50% need assistance with walking; risk of falls PPS 60%-90% very little physical care Prognosis Care models Eg. Suandok Collaborative Care Cancer Care Ontario, Canada Psychosocial transition support Research demographic, prognostic, etc
PPS PITFALL IS A FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE SCALE NOT JUST PALLIATIVE We often get confused with word palliative in the PPSv2 scale It was designed mainly for patients with advanced progressive illness who are palliative Illnesses can be cancer, end stage heart, COPD, live failure, end stage renal failure, dementia, ALS, etc
PPS PITFALL IS A FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE SCALE NOT JUST PALLIATIVE But you also use it here in Chiang Mai for many medical and surgical wards who are not palliative and staff get confused For example, in Sub-ICU Medicine next slide Sometimes I think the name of PPS should be changed to Victoria Performance Scale or Suandok Performance Scale so it is easier to use in many patients But it is a functional assessment tool, so can be used for any illness, not just palliative For example, in Sub-ICU Medicine next slide
