Palliative care
• Palliative care is a term derived from Latin palliare, "to cloak.“
• Palliative care is a multidisciplinary approach and specialized
medical care for people with serious illness.
• The goal of therapy is to improve the quality of the life.
• It’s focused on providing patients with relief from the symptoms,
pain, physical stress, and mental stress of a serious illness.
• A World Health Organisation statement describes palliative care
as "an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and
their families facing the problems associated with life-
threatening illness, through the prevention and relief of suffering
by means of early identification and impeccable assessment and
treatment of pain and other problems, physical, psychosocial and
spiritual."
"WHO Definition of Palliative Care". World Health Organization. Retrieved March 16, 2012.
Palliative care
• Palliative care teams specialize in treating people suffering
from the symptoms and stress of serious illnesses such as
cancer, congestive heart failure (CHF), chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD), kidney disease, Alzheimer’s,
Parkinson’s, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and other
chronic disorders.
Issues addressed in palliative care
• Palliative care can address a broad range of issues,
integrating an individual’s specific needs into care. The
physical and emotional effects of cancer and its treatment
may be very different from person to person.
– Physical
– Emotional and coping
– Practical
– Spiritual
Issues addressed in palliative care
• Physical:
– Physical symptoms such as pain, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea,
vomiting, shortness of breath, and insomnia can be relieved with
medicines or by using other methods, such as nutrition therapy,
physical therapy, or deep breathing techniques.
• Emotional and coping:
– Depression, anxiety, and fear that can be addressed through
palliative care. Experts may provide counseling, recommend
support groups, hold family meetings, or make referrals to mental
health professionals.
Issues addressed in palliative care
• Practical:
– Patients may have financial and legal worries, insurance questions,
employment concerns, and concerns about completing advance
directives. For many patients and families, the technical language
and specific details of laws and forms are hard to understand.
• Spiritual:
– An expert in palliative care can help people explore their beliefs and
values so that they can find a sense of peace or reach a point of
acceptance that is appropriate for their situation.
Key Components of Palliative Care
• Recognising symptoms such as pain, nausea, fatigue,
breathing or swallowing difficulties, constipation, and
hopelessness.
• Identifying the patient's goals and development of a
palliative care plan, specially for the patient.
• Understanding that many patients and their families
struggle to make decisions.
• Assisting with advanced care directives to help people
formulate and communicate their preferences regarding
care during future incapacity.
Models of Palliative Care
• Hospice Care – a well-established program to provide patients with a
prognosis of six months or less. As delineated within the Medicare Hospice
Benefit, these services can be provided in the home, nursing home,
residential facility, or on an inpatient unit.
• Palliative Care Programs – institutional based programs in the hospital or
nursing home to serve patients with life-threatening or life-limiting illnesses.
Occur in hospital settings (academic, community, rehabilitation) and skilled
nursing facilities. Provide services to patients anywhere along the disease
continuum between initial diagnosis and death.
• Outpatient Palliative Care Programs – occur in ambulatory care settings to
provide continuity of care for patients with serious or life-threatening
illnesses.
• Community Palliative Care Programs – occur in communities as consultative
teams who collaborate with hospices or home health agencies to support
seriously ill patients who have not yet accessed hospice.

PRINCIPLES OF PALLIATIVE CARE MANAGEMENT
• Scope of care: Includes patients of all ages with life-threatening
illness, conditions or injury requiring symptom relief from
physical, psychosocial and spiritual suffering.
• Timing of palliative care: Palliative care should ideally begin at
the time of diagnosis of a life threatening condition and should
continue through treatment until death and into the family’s
bereavement.
• Patient and family centred care: The patient and family
constitute the unit of care which should be managed as a whole.
PRINCIPLES OF PALLIATIVE CARE MANAGEMENT
• Holistic care: Palliative care must endeavour to alleviate suffering
in the physical, psychological, social and spiritual domains of the
patient in order to provide the best quality of life for the patient
and family.
• Multidisciplinary care: A multidisciplinary team approach is
essential to address all relevant areas of patient care.
• Effective communication: Good communication skills (including
listening, providing information, facilitating decision making and
coordinating care) are essential tools in palliative care and
healthcare providers must develop this in order to provide
effective palliative care.
PRINCIPLES OF PALLIATIVE CARE MANAGEMENT
• Knowledge and Skills: Palliative care is active care and
requires specific management for specific conditions.
• Seamless care: Palliative care is integral to all healthcare
settings (hospital, emergency department, health clinics and
homecare).

"WHO Definition of Palliative Care". World Health Organization. Retrieved March 16, 2012.

  • 4. Issues addressed in palliative care • Palliative care can address a broad range of issues, integrating an individual’s specific needs into care. The physical and emotional effects of cancer and its treatment may be very different from person to person. – Physical – Emotional and coping – Practical – Spiritual
  • 5.

Experts may provide counseling, recommend support groups, hold family meetings, or make referrals to mental health professionals.
  • 6. Issues addressed in palliative care • Practical: – Patients may have financial and legal worries, insurance questions, employment concerns, and concerns about completing advance directives. For many patients and families, the technical language and specific details of laws and forms are hard to understand. • Spiritual: – An expert in palliative care can help people explore their beliefs and values so that they can find a sense of peace or reach a point of acceptance that is appropriate for their situation.
  • 7. Key Components of Palliative Care • Recognising symptoms such as pain, nausea, fatigue, breathing or swallowing difficulties, constipation, and hopelessness. • Identifying the patient's goals and development of a palliative care plan, specially for the patient. • Understanding that many patients and their families struggle to make decisions. • Assisting with advanced care directives to help people formulate and communicate their preferences regarding care during future incapacity.

As delineated within the Medicare Hospice Benefit, these services can be provided in the home, nursing home, residential facility, or on an inpatient unit. • Palliative Care Programs – institutional based programs in the hospital or nursing home to serve patients with life-threatening or life-limiting illnesses. Occur in hospital settings (academic, community, rehabilitation) and skilled nursing facilities.
