  6. The Journey of Creating Peace and Healing at SJMO • Began in late 1990s when we were attempting resuscitation on 60-70% of the patients who died • Only could find 30% patients with any pain scores at all documented • Of those we could find – average pain score when palliative care was consulted: 8/10. • Demerol was number one drug used for pain

  7. First Work • Understanding the suffering at SJMO • Learning from hospice, ethics and local palliative programs • Institute of Medicine (IOM) Report on End of Life • Institute of Healthcare Improvement • SUPPORT Trial

  9. Key Processes to Achieve Goal • Assess and understand the suffering. • Educate, develop and inspire staff and volunteers to deliver excellence in pain and symptom management, ethics, palliative and end of life care management. • Create systems of care across the continuum that make it easier to deliver quality care and support staff and volunteers who deliver care. • Create access for all who are suffering.

  10. Head: Knowledge, Competence *Conscience: “Know what to do and the right thing to do” Hands: Process, Systems*Culture: “How to do it so all are served” Heart: Compassion, Humanity *Presence: “Doing it with enduring love” TOTAL BODY MODEL FOR SUCCESSFUL PALLIATIVE SERVICES at SJMO*

  11. Trinity Health Vision for Palliative Care In Trinity Health everyone impacted by illness will have access to comprehensive palliative care and experience care excellence through the prevention and relief of physical, emotional, social and spiritual suffering.Compassionate and holistic care will be provided throughout the journey of living and dying.

  12. We Studied Our Own Experience • Through family post-death interviews • Staff assessment of the patient and family dying experience and their own suffering and needs • Post-death chart review

  13. Our Response • Created a new culture, where suffering is not acceptable with focus on continuous improvements in patient care. • Provide 24-hour pain, palliative and spiritual support for patients and their families. • Provide team members (staff and volunteers) with the training and tools necessary to provide excellence in end of life care. • Multiple entry points for receiving pain and/or palliative and/or hospice care.

  14. Interventions • Required 5 hour pain/palliative class • Extensive resident and nurse end of life education • Comfort Care order sets • Mentoring staff • One patient at a time – the world and culture changed

  15. Pain Scores • At time of consult for palliative care: • 2000 – 7.8/10 • 2001 – 6.3/10 • 2004 – 3.4/10 • 2005 – 2.4/10….and continues to this day • Which was one of the biggest reasons we won the • Circle of Life Award in 2006

  16. COMFORT CARTS“Crash Carts for the Dying” Creation of a loving and peaceful environment – we call sacred space • CD Player and many CD’s • Bibles, Korans • Example of Prayers • Grief Information • Funeral Home Listings • Information on physical, emotional and spiritual changes at end of life • Sympathy cards/Dove Sign for Door • Hand Casting Materials • Love Blankets “This is a love blanket, it is a symbol of the love shared in ____’s life. We hope it brings him comfort now and after he dies please take it with you and may it help you in the days to come.”

  17.
