Palliative Care. The Tasmanian palliative care model recognises that the setting of palliative care is influenced by the patients needs and in consultation with the patient. Setting of care can be varied, covering care at home and in community settings, in residential aged care, in designated inpatient palliative care beds and units together with public, private and rural hospitals. Specialist palliative care clinicians have an expert role in direct care and shared care for clients with complex needs and a consultative role supporting primary care providers in the ongoing management of clients’ needs. To build primary care capacity, clinicians continue to provide palliative care education to health professionals across the State. Through the implementation of this new service delivery model Tasmania has been able to increase the accessibility and capacity of palliative care services in the State. The core elements of a palliative care service system are community based services, designated inpatient beds and hospital consultative teams. Demand for services continues to grow with a steady annual increase in clients accessing palliative care services, the number of referrals and utlilisation of designated palliative care beds. For the purpose of this document the term ‘rehabilitation and sub acute care’ is used to refer to the acute rehabilitation episode and all subsequent sub acute interventions across rehabilitation, palliative care, psycho-geriatric and geriatric evaluation and management, including community outpatients and community interventions.

Palliative Care. The Strengthening Palliative Care Policy provides an overarching framework and strong support for an integrated service system that links inpatient and community palliative care services to meet patient choice and ensure best use of bed based resources within Victoria. This policy also supports regional care coordination and integration of inpatient, community and statewide palliative care services, through population-based approaches to planning and service delivery (the Regional Palliative Care Consortia). A statewide Palliative Care Clinical Network Advisory Committee will be established in 2009 to provide advice on the implementation of a clinical services improvement program through the Regional Palliative Care Consortia, to explore opportunities for reducing unwanted variation in practice and for benchmarking optimal care. Use of data is critical to the development of clinical service improvements and the development of effective outcome measures within community palliative care. The Victorian Integrated Non Admitted Health Minimum Dataset (VINAH MDS) community palliative care data base has been modified to collect key outcome measures (refer to section 2.7). Other clinical indicators will be identified and collected through the Consortia for reporting to the department by 2011. As part of the Strengthening Palliative Care Policy implementation, eight Regional Palliative Care Consortia have been established. There are three metropolitan and five regional Consortia. The Consortia have four major roles within their geographic areas of responsibility: • regional planning • coordinating care • determining priorities for future service development and funding • designating palliative care service roles to ensure consistent access to specialist palliative care services.

Palliative Care. Patients whose disease is not responsive to curative treatment, who require control of pain and/or other symptom control, taking into account psychological, social and spiritual problems. Note: if a patient currently falls within range 2 but is likely to be in range 3 very soon and is known to the specialist palliative care team they should be fast-tracked for NHS funded care while awaiting a formal funding decision based on current need at the subsequent panel meeting. Care may be provided in their own homes or in a care home. Specialist assessment of people with serious behavioural issues should be required by assessment panels to support this section. This involves overall risk assessment (e.g. violence, self-harm, self-neglect) with additional analysis of context (e.g. triggers), frequency, intensity and the response to interventions. Unpredictability of behaviour, the environment, as well as staff care skills (and numbers) to manage safely may affect the assessment process. Assessors should ensure that such factors do not affect the assessment of need where behaviour issues occur solely in the context of a short-term confusional state (e.g triggered by physical illness).

Palliative Care. As a result of years-long efforts, palliative care was introduced in RA and several organizations were licensed. As of October 2023, only 17 of the 33 licensed services are provided within the framework of public financing, and in some places, the financial resources appropriated for the whole year are underspent, which raises much concern. In two large regions, Shirak and ▇▇▇▇, the services are not available. A positive development is the adoption of the pediatric palliative care concept paper in 2022 and the introduction of the service itself.

Palliative Care. The Palliative Care work stream has been focusing on expanding the Community Palliative Program into Halton Hills. The program is modeled after the Milton Community Palliative Program which enables community physicians to provide palliative care 24/7 in the patient’s home for as long as possible. Furthermore, work continues on integrating the current Oakville Community Palliative Care Physician Program within Halton Healthcare to improve provider EMR access, allow for a common clinical chart, and streamline referral processes. The goals of this initiative are to decrease the number of ED visits in the last 30 days of life and to decrease palliative patient deaths in hospital when patient's wishes are more aligned with dying at home. Due to a funding opportunity through Ontario Health, the Mississauga Halton LHIN submitted a proposal and was approved to implement the addition of Palliative Care Nurse Practitioners on call 24/7 to support palliative care providers, patients and caregivers in our community as well as assist in supporting the 24/7 Palliative HELP Line. The Home & Community Care work stream has been focused on implementing a High Intensity Supports at Home (HISH) Program. The HISH Program is done in partnership with the Mississauga ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ as well as CANES Community Care (https:// ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇/). The objective of this program is to provide support for up to 35 high risk seniors in the community who are on the wait list for long-term care placement. For more information on this program please see the announcement included at the end of this newsletter. It is through the HISH program that the work stream is also looking to advance other initiatives. These initiatives include improved communication between primary care physicians and community service providers as well as escalation and resolution of challenges when they arise. The goal of this program is to decrease the average percentage of HISH program patients who present themselves in our Emergency Department.
