EASING THE BURDEN OF DECISION-MAKING:
MAKING THE MOST OUT OF CONVERSATION Presentation
Relationships with commercial interests:
• Speakers Honoraria: Amgen

By the end of this session participants will be
able to:
Understand the basic concepts of MOST, Advance Care
Planning (ACP) and Goals of Care
Practice MOST designations with brief clinical scenarios
Identify the unique challenges of ACP in the renal
population
Access tools and resources to support conversations
Explore practice implications through a case study
Pt’s with chronic kidney disease are unique…..
o In table groups talk about what you find challenging and unique in
engaging in ACP & goals of care conversations with renal clients.

CKD patients (pre-dialysis): 56 deaths
HD patients – 31 deaths
PD patients – 7 deaths
The mean survival would appear to be approximately 4.5 yrs.
after one starts dialysis (if you are over 65 years of age).
5
In 2010 Dialysis Mortality Rate: 18% Total Dialysis (HD & PD) =81
Mortality rates for pt.'s with ESRD are worse than for most
cancers with an overall median survival of less than 6
years, although this does vary with age.
End of Life Care in Nephrology 2007
MOST is a physician’s order that has six designations that provide direction on code status, critical care interventions, and medical interventions.
• MOST is a medical order that is valid across all care settings and
is honored by the BC ambulance service. • MOST replaces No CPR orders (March 19) • The MOST policy aligns with the existing:
• 9.1.2 P Adult Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Policy. • 10.3.9 Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation for Residential Services
What is MOST
6
• Agreement between patients' expressed
preferences for care and documentation
in the medical record was 30.2%

How does MOST link to ACP & Goals of Care?
8
Conversations about: • Written expression of wishes • Advance Directives • Representation Agreements The adult engages in ACP conversations with loved ones and health care providers
Conversations about: • Clarification or review of ACP • Diagnosis, prognosis, risks, and benefits of
treatment. • Medically appropriate options for health care
that aligns with the adult’s goals of care.
Conversations about: • Between the adult, Most Responsible
Provider and other health care providers about the kinds of health care to provide in certain circumstances.

Advance Care Planning: is a capable adult's
planning for how consent to health care will
be given/refused after he/she loses
capability
13
Is a way for you to think, talk and plan together with your family, friends and healthcare providers about values, hopes and fears for your current and future health care in advance of a time you are incapable of deciding for yourself

ADVANCE CARE
PLANNING
Some adults are very clear about a treatment they want or do not want
Decreases panic and uncertainty in a crisis
Decreases moral distress for client, families and HCP
Can provide a peaceful end of life experience for the patient, family, and staff.
Individuals wishes are honored and have fewer life-sustaining procedures and lower rates of intensive care unit admissions
Protects the autonomy of client decisions
Promotes client/family-centered care
8 out of every 10 Canadians have never heard of Advance Care Planning
only 9% had ever spoken to a healthcare provider about their wishes for care
over 80% of Canadians do not have a written plan
only 46% have designated a substitute decision maker – someone to speak on their behalf if they could not communicate
March 2012 Ipsos-Reid national poll
16
Barriers to ACP Conversations
Physician related
• Lack of training and comfort with EOL
decision making
• Belief that ACP discussion are not
needed
• Belied that pt.'s and families do not
want these discussion
• Time constraints
• Postponing until pt. too ill to
participate fully in the discussions fully
• Concern it may destroy hope
Patient related
• Inadequate knowledge about ACP
• Perception that ACP is difficult to
facilitate and/or execute
• Perception that it will not be followed
• Belief that it is the physicians role to
initiate
• Reluctance to broach the issue of
death and EOL planning
• Unnecessary because family will
know what to do

It is important to go into an ACP
conversation without preconceived
assumptions or predictions about
what people will or should feel or
believe.
Don’t assume how other people
are feeling. Let them Tell you.
21
● Ideally:
Healthy Capable Adults to create awareness,
normalize Advance Care Planning
● More Imperative With:
Capable Adults with Chronic Diseases before they
become acutely ill
● Absolutely:
Capable Adults with Life Expectancy Less Than 12
months

What do I value in terms of my emotional, mental and
physical health?
What would make prolonging life unacceptable for me?
When I think about death I worry about certain things
happening
What brings me comfort?
Do I have any spiritual or religious beliefs that would affect
my care at the end of life?
Action:
My wishes for care at the end of life work sheet
Person who makes medical decisions on your
behalf
They will give or refuse consent to treatment in
the event you are incapable
24
Action:
Take a few minutes to think about 2 people that would act as your
Substitute decision maker
spouse (incld. common-law & same sex)
adult child
parent
brother or sister
Grandparent
Grandchild
another relative by birth or adoption
close friend
person immediately related by marriage

Section 9 Agreement:
Must be fully capable
power to refuse life-sustaining treatment
may include decisions about admission to residential care
does NOT allow Rep to make financial or legal decisions
Section 7 agreement:
intended for persons with less than full capability o (e.g., clients with
developmental disabilities).
for routine health and financial decisions
does not allow the Rep to refuse life support or life prolonging medical interventions
27
REPRESENTATION AGREEMENT
An adult while capable appoints someone to make health and personal care decisions on
their behalf in the event they are unable to speak for themselves
A capable adult can create an Advance Directive
Advance Directive is a document that gives/ refuses
consent to specific treatments in advance
Legally binding document for health care providers,
document is used as the source of consent without an
intermediary
Legal and medical advice is recommended before
completing

Copy to family doctor
Copy for your Representative, friend(s) or family member(s)
Copy with other health care providers involved in your care
Copy to your lawyer/notary (if appropriate)

Prognostic Tools
Surprise Question “Would you be surprised if this patient died in the next 12 months?”
• Validated in clinical studies: • If physicians answered “NO”, patient 3.5 times more likely to
have died in 1 yr. compared to “YES” pt. Moss, CJASN 2008
Frailty Scale
• Is a 7-point tool that provides a practical approach to assessing frailty using physical and functional indicators of health and illness burden
• Proactively identifies those who could benefit from interventions.

HPI: o Shoulder surgery 10 days ago; received peri-operative cefazolin
o 3 days post discharge, developed severe watery diarrhea, presented to ER with progressive abdominal pain
o Dx: ?peritonitis, ?C.diff. colitis; started on empiric antibx
o Developed progressive hypotension, fever, abdominal distention, Dx: toxic megacolon
o Transferred from rural hospital to RJH ICU, underwent emergent
colectomy, removal of PD catheter.
Goals of Care discussion: o Daughters were substitute decision makers; state mother would
want ‘everything’ done – including defibrillation, mechanical ventilation, hemodialysis, feeding tube
Previous Goals of Care discussion (2 yrs. ago):
o Patient indicated she wanted full resuscitation (daughters served as translators)
o SW attempted to have subsequent discussions, but family unwilling to engage
o Care providers uncertain how much patient understood re: diagnosis, prognosis
Course in ICU:
o Remained ventilator-dependent, pressor-dependent post colectomy
o Developed ventilator-associated pneumonia
o Hemodialysis-dependent; became anuric
o Improved with optimal supportive care extubated, able to
participate in GOC discussion; wanted ongoing aggressive care
o Acutely declined septic shock, blood cultures grew Staph. aureus (6 weeks into ICU stay)
o Daily family meetings re: GOC; discordant views, two sons travel from afar; daughters accepting of palliative approach, but not sons
Care seriously ill receive often may harm
them and their families
Aggressive care for patients with advanced illness is
often harmful:
• For patients:
- Lower quality of life
- Greater physical and psychological distress Wright, AA JAMA 2008; Mack JCO 2010
• For caregivers:
- More major depression
- Lower satisfaction Wright, AA JAMA 2008; Teno JM JAMA 2004
Advance Care Planning Terminology
Seriously Ill
Prognosis:
1-2 Years
18+, Healthy
Advance Care Planning = Planning in Advance of Serious Illness
Serious Illness Care Conversation = Planning in the context of
progression of serious illness
Goals of Care Discussion = Decision making in context of clinical
progression / crisis / poor prognosis
Prognosis:

Where will MOST & ACP documents be stored?
Greensleeve is a green plastic page protector
that is placed at the front of the health record
to identify resuscitation status, scope of
treatment and store ACP documents.
Note: can be ordered from MONKS (RLXSP2034) Greensleeves have been ordered for acute care and residential care sites

ICU staff and nephrologist advised:
o No re-intubation
o Consider withdrawal from hemodialysis if further deterioration
o Daughters agree to ‘DNR’ order
o Patient died two days later
Home Dialysis Clinic staff, nephrologist contacted daughters one week later
o Severe grief reaction, blamed themselves for ‘not doing enough to save mom’
Points to Ponder: o How could care providers have more effectively
discussed Goals of Care designation two years ago?
o How do we approach the challenge of cultural beliefs and practices in our discussions?
(the belief that it is disrespectful to disclose a negative
diagnosis/prognosis to a parent/elder)
o How/when do we effectively communicate how changes in disease trajectory impact quality of life?
Early conversations about goals of care
benefit patients and families
Early conversations about patient goals and priorities in serious
illness are associated with:
- Enhanced goal-concordant care
- Time to make informed decisions and fulfill personal goals
- Improved quality of life
- Higher patient satisfaction
- More and earlier hospice care
- Fewer hospitalizations
- Better patient and family coping
- Eased burden of decision-making for families
- Improved bereavement outcomes Mack JCO 2010; Wright JAMA 2008; Chiarchiaro AATS 2015; Detering BMJ 2010; Zhang Annals 2009
The best time to begin ACP conversations is when the person is healthy
Engaging in ACP and & Goals of Care discussions is an interdisciplinary practice and the role of ALL HCP’s
Every capable adult has the right to accept, refuse or change their mind
Emergency contact/NOK may not be the person legally authorized to provide or refuse consent for health care
ACP documents provide direction or consent/refusal ONLY when the adult is NOT capable
A MOST provides direction for providers to follow in any Island Health setting and is honored by BC ambulance and contracted transportation service
The ACP Notes and Conversations flow sheet is a useful tool to record ACP and goals of care discussions
