National Policy: Elements • Evaluation of needs • Defined targets, aims and principles • Leadership • Implementation of specific services • General measures in conventional services • Opioid availability • Education and training • Standards, legislation, definition of services • Financing model • Evaluation • Implementation plan with specific budget
Principles • Measures in all places • Sectorized • Insertion in preexisting services, including sociohealth • Gradual implementation • Public Planning • Public Financement
Aims • Coverage: for all in everywhere • Equity and accesibility • Quality: effectiveness, efficiency, satisfaction • Reference WHO
Initial key procesess • Clear ideas • Clear definition of clients and services • Leadership • Training • References/experiences • Institutional support pva20
Leadership Joint venture between • Ministry of health and financing agency • Professionals: well trained and highly committed • Organisations (Providers): public, profit, nonprofit • Academic (Universities)
General measures • Targets: Hospitals (oncology, internal medicine, geriatrics, emergencies), mid-term and long-term resources (nursing homes), primary care teams • Training: policies, sessions, formal training, local references • Change of organisation: teamwork, presence and support of the family • Liaison of resources
Specific Resources • Specific nurses • Support teams: in hospitals, community, both, systems • Units: type, dimension, placement • Nº beds: 80-100/milion • Placement: 10-20% acute, 40-60% sociohealth (mid-term), 10-20% residential, 10-20% hospices
Types of processes (always combined) • Implementation of new specific resources • Adaptation of conventional resources (general measures) • Reallocation of resources (reconversion) • “Catalythic”implementation or investment
Palliative care and geriatrics and cancer • Links with geriatrics in Sociohealth centers, nursing homes, and community • Links with cancer in hospitals, cancer centers, and the community • Both necessary
Common Resistances • “We are already doing so...” • “There is no need of specific services, we will do a lot of training....” • “Palliative care services will be seen as places to die....” • “This is good for England, USA, or Catalonia, but it will not work in our country....”
Expected results • Enormous improvement of the quality of care • Effectiveness • Efficiency: saving more than the structrural cost • Satisfaction: patients, families, professionals, and politicians
Palliative Care: added values • Care and organisation models useful in all the system • Model of care appliable to other conditions earlier • Emphasis in quality of life • Impact on the global efficiency • High patient’s and familie’s satisfaction • Ethical approach
