End of Life
Learning Session 1
Ambiguous dying
“There will not be a distinct terminal phase.
The week we die will start out like any other and some unpredictable calamity will occur. Amongst those of
us with advanced heart failure,
we will have had a 50-50 chance to live for six months on the day before we died”

End of Life Care:
Expanding the scope
Changing the face of dying
We are living longer.
By 2025:
 30% of the population >65.
 33% increase in deaths over 2004.
 2/3 will die with 2 or more chronic
diseases after months or years in state
of “vulnerable frailty”.
 Only 20% of us will die with a
recognizable terminal (“palliative”)
phase.

WHO definition of palliative care
Palliative care is an approach that:
Improves the quality of life of patients & their families
Through:
Prevention and relief of suffering
By:
Early identification
Impeccable assessment & treatment

Evidence for an expanded scope of
the Palliative Approach to care in
family and specialty practice?
Study design/Measures
 151 participants (patients
recently diagnosed with
metastatic non-small-cell lung
cancer) were randomly
divided into either an early
palliative care cohort or a
standard care cohort


Study conclusions
 Those who were assigned to early palliative care had improved
mood, more frequent documentation of resuscitation preferences
and less aggressive end-of-life care.
32
Expected outcomes of an early palliative care
approach
 “Good death” in the most appropriate location.
 Better pain and symptom management.
 Better long term outcomes for bereaved relatives.
 Improved experience of care.
 Better quality of care.
 Lower health care costs.

Table discussion
Think about your self-audit OR a recent death of a noncancer patient you were involved with`
 Were you satisfied with the experience?
› If so, what made it work?
› If NOT satisfied, why not?
 What were some of the gaps in clinical care?
 What could have been done differently?
34
Identification of patients who may
benefit from a palliative approach:
The first step to improve the patient
and family experience of care
Who would benefit from a palliative approach?
36
PSP End of Life Care Algorithm
37
Identify patients:
Gold Standard Framework triggers
Three triggers for supportive/palliative care:
1.
The surprise question: “Would you be surprised if this
patient were to die in the next year?
2.
Choice/need: patient makes a choice for comfort care only, or is
in special need of supportive/palliative care.
3.
Specific indicators: clinical indicators for each of 3 main EOL
groups (cancer, organ failure, frail elderly /dementia).
Sentinel Events is another trigger to help identify patients.
38
WOULD I BE SURPRISED IF
JAMES LEE DIED WITHIN
THE NEXT YEAR?
Identify: Use prognostic indicators
General:
 Co-morbidity.
 Recent, multiple ER visits/hospital visits.
 Complications of recent hospital stay.
 Reducing performance status (ECOG/Karnofsky/PPS).
 Dependence in most activities of daily living (ADLs).
 Impaired nutritional status despite attempts to improve
› Serum albumin < 25 g/l.
› Weight loss 5-10% of body weight (last 6 months).
40
Palliative Approach: Care through all the transitions
41
Sentinel event questions
 “Well, that was a close
call. What were you
thinking about when
this happened?”
 “What if things don’t
go so well the
next time?”
 “How did your family do during this time?”
42
Identification: Table discussion (15 minutes)
 How will you think differently about identifying patients?
 How will you communicate and to whom?
 Registry building – what approach will you take?
 Consider who should be involved in your community
and when would it be appropriate to refer?
43
Patient registry and flagging charts
 Include patients with advanced disease:
›
›
›
›
›
›
›
Cancer
AIDS
COPD and other chronic respiratory conditions
Chronic heart disease
Renal failure
Neurological conditions, including dementia
Frailty or multiple co-morbidities
 Consider patients in residential care as a target population
44
Identification - what changes do you see?.....
Flagging by MOA
 Changes in appearance
 Missing appointments
 Admissions to Long Term Care or multiple hospital visits
or even frequent doctors visits
 Family members expressing concern, wanting to talk to
the doctor about them
 Changes in behaviour
 Changes in gait
 Decrease in ability to care for themselves
 Changes in communication
 Gut feeling
45
Identification: Pearls
What have we learned?
1.
The whole team can seek to identify potential patients.
2.
Tools are available to support identification
› Surprise question (intuitive awareness of transition).
› Choice (readiness of patient).
› Clinical indicators (Functional/Prognostic signs).
3.
Tools are available to support identification.

Communication
Communication cont.
Goals of this section:
 Review and discuss key pearls pertaining to ACP discussions.
 Review videos of ACP conversations and discuss.
 Hear about your experiences holding ACP conversations.
49
Critical importance of communication
 Six key components:
 1. Talking with patients in an honest and straightforward way.
 2. Willing to talk about dying: Not abandoning / avoiding the dying
patient.
 3. Giving bad news in a sensitive way: Balancing being realistic
with maintaining hope.
 4. Listening to patients.
 5. Encouraging questions.
 6. Sensitive to patients readiness to talk about death.

50
Empathy
 Listen for feelings, fears, concerns as well as who this person is
and what is important to them
 Where are they in disease trajectory?
 Are they in transition from one stage to another
 Even if you don’t think you can connect easily, you can learn to do
this

When to hold ACP conversations
 Patients often give you an opening…..
 Patient history form / intake assessment.
 Annually for all adults: “I talk with all my patients about this and
we talked a little about this last year…”
 Part of chronic disease management: “Hope for the best but plan
for the worst…” "This illness can have a fairly predictable
course…here are some things you need to think about ahead of
time…"
 Following ER / Hospital admission: “I understand you have been
in the hospital. What did the doctors say?”
53
!!when available insert image of the MOH pt guide
 “My Voice” is a guiding document for ACP conversations.
Documents patients wishes concerning…
› Medical Interventions
› CPR/No CPR
› Friends and family to assist in decision making on behalf of the
patient.
 Also describes location of other pertinent planning
documents.
 Provincial ACP guide available soon
 Will include documentation re:
› advance directives
› representation agreements
› providing contact information
› for temporary substitute decision makers
54

Would NOT be surprised if patient died in next year
– Discuss goals, wishes & plans as illness advances. Initiate
advanced care planning.
– Identify other involved providers & ensure information exchange.
– Medical assessment of patient symptoms, needs & supports.
– Consider referral - Chronic disease clinics. Home and
Community Care if functional status declining and home based
supports needed.
