Palliative Model
Palliative Care (W.H.O.)• 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 patient care;
• Offers a support system to help patients live as actively as possible until death;
• Offers a support system to help the family cope during the patients illness and in their own bereavement;
• Uses a team approach to address the needs of patients and their families, including bereavement counselling, if indicated;
• Will enhance quality of life, and may also positively influence the course of illness;
Pediatric Palliative Care (W.H.O.)• Palliative care for children is the active total care of the child's body, mind and spirit, and
also involves giving support to the family.
• It begins when illness is diagnosed, and continues regardless of whether or not a child receives treatment directed at the disease.
• Health providers must evaluate and alleviate a child's physical, psychological, and social distress.
• Effective palliative care requires a broad multidisciplinary approach that includes the family and makes use of available community resources; it can be successfully implemented even if resources are limited.
• It can be provided in tertiary care facilities, in community health centers and even in children's homes.

MaineHealth Care At Home• Daily census of 1300-1600.
• Pediatric daily census of 200-250 patients.

Palliative Care at MHCAH• Began in the pediatric realm. Trained the entire pediatric staff to start.
• Coordination and collaboration with MMC/BBCH and their palliative care physician who did both pediatrics and adults.
• Continued this close relationship and became involved at a systems level with palliative care leadership and work groups.

Palliative Care at MHCAH (Cont.)• Full participation of Social Work discipline. Interest from all disciplines.
• Some work with the Chaplaincy Institute of Maine to utilize student chaplains and volunteers to offer support around the spiritual domain.
• Full buy in from administration and commitment to supporting a palliative care team within the agency.
• Dedicated Interdisciplinary meetings. Every 2 weeks the team meets to go over cases and review plans of care. An educational component will be added to that meeting as well.
• Certified Nursing Staff CHPN/CHPPN
• Multiple Staff trained in Serious Illness Conversations
Program Growth• “If you’ve seen one palliative care program, you’ve seen one palliative care program.”
• Multiple templates and models for development.
• Multiple timelines
• 20 years ago we were making the case, now we are providing data and making the case.
• Common theme among most programs is that development takes 5-10 years. During that time there are advances and setbacks. Important to always know who the champions and committed are and keep the torch lit.
Opportunities….• Dignity and Respect
- Patient and family knowledge, values, beliefs and cultural backgrounds are incorporated into the planning and delivery of care.
• Information Sharing
- Patients and families receive timely, complete and accurate information in order to effectively participate in care and decision-making.
• Participation
- Patients and families are encouraged and supported in participating in care and decision-making at the level they choose.
• Collaboration
- Patients and families collaborate in policy and program development, implementation and evaluation; in professional education, as well as in the delivery of care.
