OUR MISSION
This collaborative will create a coordinated, proactive system among local health care providers to identify patients suffering with a serious illness, provide them with palliative care options and resources, and deliver appropriate care according to each patient’s preferences.
Atlantic Health System palliative care and care coordination facilitators will guide their partner facilities in developing meaningful, measurable and sustainable interventions aimed at improving access to palliative and end-of-life care for patients and their families.
The program anticipates that participants will be able to:
- increase their palliative care knowledge, skills and confidence
- identify a multidisciplinary palliative care champion team as future palliative care trainers in each facility
- strengthen connections between palliative care specialist and non-specialist providers to improve the quality and coordination of care
- implement a collaborative facility “Palliative Care Bundle”, to standardize palliative care service delivery and enhance patient autonomy. The Palliative Care Bundle consists of:
- Palliative Care Screening Tool – process for identifying patients with unmet needs that can be addressed through palliative care
- Palliative Care Power Plan – a set of evidence-based actionable care and treatment guidelines for palliative care
- Goals of Care Discussions and Advance Care Planning Strategy – strategies for goals of care discussions, completion of advance directives and POLST among patients served
