  4. End of Life Care ‘Care that helps all those with advanced, progressive, incurable illness to live as well as possible until they die. It enables the supportive and palliative care needs of both patients and family to be identified and met throughout the last phase of life and into bereavement. It includes the management of pain and other symptoms and provision of psychological, social, spiritual and practical support’ (National Council for Palliative Care)

  5. Palliative Care - WHO 2002 Provides relief from pain and other distressing symptoms Affirms life and regards dying as a normal process Intends neither to hasten or postpone death Integrates the psychological and spiritual aspects of care Offers support system to help patients live as actively as possible until death Offers support system to help families cope

  6. Palliative Care Team approach to address needs Will enhance quality of life, may positively influence the course of illness Applicable early in the course of the illness, with other therapies intended to prolong life, e.g., chemo, radiotherapy, investigations to better understand and manage distessing symptoms.

  7. End of Life Care Strategy 2008 1/2 million people die each year 58% deaths - hospital 18% deaths - home 17% deaths - care home 4% deaths - hospice Most people would prefer NOT to die in hospital

  8. End of Life Care Strategy 2008 Vast majority of deaths = over 18yrs (99%) Most deaths occur in the over 65’s By 2030 - over 65yrs, 86% of deaths over 85 yrs, 44% of deaths Over 85 yrs = more likely to be in care home (currently) 1/5 NHS spending is on EOLC 40% who die in hospital don’t have medical conditions that medics can fight (Demos UK, 2010)

  9. End of Life Care Strategy 2008 AIM: Better access to high quality care at end of life Available wherever the person may be Achieved through 10 objectives

  10. End of Life Care Strategy 2008 Objectives: Increase public awareness Ensure dignity and respect Optimum quality of life (symptoms) Access to holistic care services Needs identified, documented, acted on, reviewed Coordinated services

  11. End of Life Care Strategy 2008 High quality care in last days of life and after death, in all care settings Carers supported Health care professionals supported with training and education Services - good value for money

  12. NW EOLC Clinical Pathway Group Key recommendations: Robust integrated commissioning framework with strategic leadership in every PCT Quality standards and measures Raising public awareness Build on success of EOLC tools Advance Care Planning - all sectors

  13. NW End of Life Care Clinical Pathway Group Headline aim To reduce hospital deaths by 2012 by 10%

  14. NHS Sefton EOLC Strategy Recognises palliative care - availability to non cancer patients More investment in services from NHS Implement NICE Guidance on Supportive & Palliative Care for Adults with Cancer 2004 Implement recommendations of NHS North West EOLC Clinical Pathway Group (Incl’ reducing hospital deaths by 10%) Increase use of nationally recognised EOLC tools (LCP 100% uptake)

  15. CQC

  16. CQC (2010) End of Life Care Prompts Care Homes: Guidance for Inspectors How should a care home that provides end of life care support the person? CQC questions to consider… Do staff have knowledge & skills to identify EoLC needs. A relevant care assessment is in place Needs assessment reviewing, pain, tissue viability, nutritional needs etc Are residents and loved ones included in the decision making process. Are residents given the opportunity to discuss PPC Is there a policy & training for staff with clear records if a DNAR is recorded Do the staff use a pain chart Do documents used support end of life planning e.g. LCP The least possible disruption to the individual and their family and those close to them (see CQC Guidance for inspectors)

  17. End of Life Care Quality Markers and Measures Care homes - Based on structures and processes of care likely to achieve good outcomes Consistent with holistic approach to care Designed as supportive guide Do not always require new ways of working/thinking 12 quality markers (generic) Quality markers dementia and end of life care (Living well with Dementia (DH, 2009)

  18. End of Life Care Quality MarkersFor Care Homes Action Plan for EOL Mechanisms to discuss, record wishes (ACP) Residents needs assessed and reviewed Nominate a key worker for each resident at EOL Residents who are dying are entered onto a care pathway Families and Carers are involved in decisions at EOL to the extent they wish Other Residents are supported following a death Quality of EOL care is audited and reviewed Process to identify training needs of all workers, common requirements – communication skills, assessment and care planning, ACP and symptom management Training needs addressed for those staff initiating ACP Aware and encourage attendance to EOL care training Review all transfers in and out of the care home at EOL

  19. QIPP ‘One of the most significant NHS policies all organisations connected to the NHS will have to take on board’ Effects every department and individual Identification of efficiency savings Reinvestment to deliver quality improvements

  20. QIPP Example Fractured neck of femur - redesign of service, improved quality by improving m.d. and cross agency teamwork = reduced mortality, reduced time to theatre earlier mobilisation, reduced length of stay reduced readmissions.

  21. QIPP

  22. Six Steps Step 1 Discussions as the end of life approaches Step 2 Assessment, care planning and review Step 3 Co-ordination of care Step 4 Delivery of high quality care in care homes Step 5 Care in the last days of life Step 6 Care after death

  25. Identify barriers to change Talk to key people Observe clinical practice Use of questionnaires Focus groups Brain storming

  26. Change Models The 7 S Model 5 Whys PESTELI Force Field Analysis

  27. Ready for Change? What do your colleagues think? Conflict with other important initiatives? Identified key frameworks? Consider how change has been successfully implemented in the past, what works best? Leading your project - SWOT analysis Action plan

  28. Emotional Cycle of Change Panic Despair Blind optimism Cautious optimism Denial Confidence in the future Success

  29. Attitudes to Change Innovators (venturesome) Early adopters (respectable) Early majority (deliberate) Late majority (skeptical) Laggards (traditional)

  30. Managing Change “Involvement is the key to implementing change and increasing commitment….. It acts as a catalyst in the change process” (Covey, 1992)

  32. What is Audit? Simply put…. “A tool to aid you in improving patient care by looking at current practices and making changes where necessary”

  33. Difference between Audit and Research Research Quest for new knowledge Seeks to define best practice ‘What is the right way?’ Audit Evaluates conformity with knowledge that’s has been tested and proven to be acceptable to the majority Seeks to evaluate if best practice is being delivered ‘Doing it right’

  34. Simple Rules

  35. Audit Cycle

  36. Why Audit? Consistency of care and treatment Improve access, equity of healthcare Improve quality and effectiveness of care Improve satisfaction Improve awareness of guidelines and standards Identification of training needs Quality assurance Risk management, reduction in complaints/litigation

  37. Death and Dying Taboo Coped well in past How would most wish to die? How will most die if we don’t make changes? People need to talk about dying, not euphemisms ACP should be the standard

  38. What is a ‘good death’? Being treated as an individual, dignity and respect Without pain and/or other symptoms In familiar surroundings In company of close family and friends

  39. What makes a good death? Exercise The Resident The Family The Carer
