Definition and goals of Advance Care Planning (ACP) and advance directives

Role of ACP in the INTERACT II program Process of obtaining advance directives – when and who Improving and documenting the use of ACP in your facility Resources on ACP

What This Session Will Cover

Advance Care Planning (ACP)

What is it?

ACP is a process of communicating with residents and others who may be making health care decisions for them

The focus is on preferences for treatment in the event of changes in condition, and in particular at the end of life

Discussions should include explanation of options, benefits, and risks

Document these discussions and their results

What are the Goals?

To honor resident preferences for care To document preferences clearly and

communicate them so they can be honored at the appropriate times in the facility as well as after discharge

Advance directive is a general term that refers to legal documents expressing a person’s preferences for care

The two most common advance directives are: Living will - documents the type and amount of

aggressive care the individual desires if terminally ill Durable power of attorney for health care -

allows people to identify others who can make future health care decisions in the event they cannot make their own

Advance Directives

Specific orders should be written that can help make sure residents’ wishes documented in advance directives are followed, for example: Do Not Resuscitate (“DNR”) No Tube Feeding Do Not Hospitalize (“DNH”) unless necessary for

comfort

Implementing Advance Directives

Physician (or Medical) Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (“POLST” or “MOLST”)

Section A: Resuscitation or DNR Section B: General level of medical intervention Section C: Antibiotic treatment Section D: Artificial nutrition or hydration Section E: Summary information

Categories of Orders on the Form

There is now a national effort to implement POLST/MOLST

http://www.ohsu.edu/polst/

Each state regulates the use of advance directives differently

Advance Directives

National Use of POLST

Advance Care Planning

Many conditions in nursing home residents follow a chronic progressive course

ACP should begin early but discussions should be ongoing because decisions often change over time

Acute worsening/partial recoveries/gradual decline

Typical Course of Chronic Progressive Illnesses

What is the Role of ACP in the INTERACT Program?

Residents nearing the end-of-life are often transferred to the hospital

Many of these transfers result in increased discomfort, distress and complications

Comfort and/or palliative care can often be provided within the nursing home

Hospitalized for the 4th time in 2 months for aspiration pneumonia related to end-stage Alzheimer’s disease

No advance directive was in the record Previous admissions included a week in the

ICU on a respirator and placement of a PEG tube

Transferred to hospice on the day of his 4th hospital admission

Sam - a 101 year old long-stay resident

Could some of these hospitalizations, intensive care, and PEG tube been avoided by better ACP?

ACP should occur at some time shortly after admission

Decisions should be reviewed periodically and when an acute change in condition occurs

ADVANCED CARE PLANNING TOOLS

Physicians: responsible for discussing risks and benefits of various treatments and writing orders consistent with resident preferences

The interdisciplinary team:Good decisions that honor resident

preferences must be made with a health care team the resident and their decision makers trust

Please wait while the video is showing

The next INTERACT II Curriculum session will discuss the use of INTERACT II ACP tools and other resources

Goal 6 - Advance Care Planning: Following admission and prior to completing or updating the plan of care, all NH residents will have the opportunity to discuss their goals for care including their preferences for advance care planning with an appropriate member of the healthcare team. Those preferences should be recorded in their medical record and used in the development of their plan of care.

Seven Steps to Improve ACP in Your Facility

1. Assess the Current Situation

a. Number and percent of residents with documentation of initial discussion

b. Number and percent of residents with advance directives, living will, and a health care surrogate decision maker

c. Approaches currently used and people responsible for implementation

Adapted from:

2. Select ACP as an area for potential improvement based upon preliminary assessment

3. Review state laws and regulations and current information on ACP (see Resources)

Adapted from:

4. Identify areas for improvement in processes and practices including:

a. Current policies and protocols

b. Actual practice related to ACP

c. Issues that have arisen related to ACP

d. Previous attempts to address need for improvement

Adapted from:

5. Identify barriers and challenges to improvement and strategies to overcome them

6. Reinforce practices that are already optimal

7. Implement needed changes and re-evaluate
