Intent to Contribute Statement:
Overview of the Respect Project, a caring approach to death and dying developed for the Emergency
Department.
Introduction to the project vision and themes with perhaps a case/story to illustrate how it is changing the
culture in our ED with regard to how we care for the dying and their loved ones. The R.E.S.P.E.C.T. acronym:
R – Restore Order: and prepare loved ones for coming to the bedside
E – Explain: what happened and who was involved in patient’s care
S – Stop and Set aside other Duties: other things can wait
P – be Present: give your full awareness to what’s unfolding before you
E – Emphasize: take a moment to acknowledge that a life has just ended
C – Chaplain / Clergy: offer to call for spiritual support
T – Time: allow family time with their loved one
