2007- 2017: Palliative Care Integration
 Palliative care integration: WHO has advocated palliative care’s integration in
international strategies for cancer patients, for care of elderly, for children and
for patient with HIV/AIDS. “the solid facts of palliative care and better care of the
elderly “two monographs published by WHO. (WHO. 2010)
 Multidisciplinary and integrated care
 Multidisciplinary care is provided to patients and families in all of the above mentioned services.
Within the Network the following professional care providers are involved in integrated palliative
care: palliative care consultant, GPs with a special interest in palliative care, outpatient clinic nurse,
hospice nurse, hospice physician, physiotherapist, dietician, social worker, and psychologist.
Psychological support and bereavement services are also available within the network. (Jeroen,
2016)

Definition
"an approach that improves the quality of
life of patients and their families facing the
problems associated with life-threatening
illness, through the prevention and relief of
suffering by means of early identification
and impeccable assessment and treatment
of pain and other problems, physical,
psychosocial and spiritual."
This definition emphasizes QoL, not quantity and affirms

http://www.who.int/en/
that dying is normal part of the cycle of life. (WHO. 2010)
Changes in palliative care
 From care at the end of life to:
• Active management of progressive chronic disease (not just
malignancy)
• The majority of these deaths, however, occur after a long, progressively
debilitating chronic illness, such as cancer, cardiac disease, renal disease, lung
disease, or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Traditional vs Earlier

Target of Person with Palliative Care

Palliative Care Philosophy
Palliative care is increasingly viewed as essential component of comprehensive
care throughout the life course and as a fundamental right.
Palliative care seeks to prevent , relieve, reduce, or soothe the symptoms of
disease or disorder without effecting a cure.
Palliative care is both an approach to patient care that should be routinely
integrated with life-prolonging therapies and a model of speciality practice.
Palliative care specialists typically work in teams and usually are needed when the
disease is advanced, life expextancy is short, and problems become complex and
more urgent.
Randall and Downie (2006)
Palliative Care Philosophy
 The death is a part of life
 Understand the notion of the whole person
experienced terminal illness
 Views the patient’s family as client
The Palliative Care Approach NCPC (1997)
Vital and integral part of all clinical practice. Informed by a

knowledge of and practice of palliative care principals and
supported by specialist palliative care
 Quality of life
 A whole person approach
 Care for both the dying person and those that matter to the
person
 Patient autonomy and choice
Principles underlying palliative care provision (NCPC 1997)
 It is the right of every person with a life threatening illness to receive appropriate
palliative care wherever they are.
 It is the responsibility of every health care professional to practice the palliative

care approach, and to call in specialist palliative care colleagues if the need arises,
as an integral part of good clinical practice whatever the illness or stage.
Approaches to Palliative Care
Not a “one size fits all approach”
Care is tailored to help the specific needs
of the patient
Since palliative care is utilized to help
with various diseases, the care provided
must fit the symptoms.

Hospice
Definition:
Hospice care is the support and care for persons in the final phases of an incurable disease so that they may live as
fully and comfortably as possible (NHPCO, 2000). Hospice also supports the surviving family through the dying and
bereavement process (Egan & Labyak, 2001). Hospice provides comprehensive palliative, medical and supportive
services across a variety of settings and is based on the understanding that dying is a part of the normal life cycle.
Care can be provided in the home, in residential facilities, long-term care facilities and other settings (i.e. prisons).
Eligibility for Hospice:

Enrollment is limited to those expected to die within six months.
The Medicare Hospice benefit has currently expanded its hospice service options so that patients/families can receive
end of life care long before the last six months of life to better meet the needs of patients dying from chronic
illnesses.
An additional option that has been made available to patients (and their families) who are actively in the dying
process or have been determined as terminal is that they can be designated as an inpatient hospice.
Principles of Hospice Care
* The Family is the unit of care
* Care involves an interdisciplinary approach to expert medical and nursing care, pain management,
and emotional and spiritual support
* Patient has the right to die pain-free and with dignity
* Loved ones will receive necessary support
* Focus is on caring, not curing
* Care is provided primarily in the home, but can also be provided in free-standing hospice facilities,
hospitals, and nursing homes
(ACS, 2004, p. 532)
Advance Directive
(also called a Living Will)
• An Advance Directive is a document that lets patients state their wishes about medical care in the event that
they develop a terminal or irreversible conditions and can no longer make their own medical decisions
(TxPEC, 2009).
• An Advance Directive (Living Will) becomes effective when

1. the patient’s physician certifies in writing that the patient has a terminal or irreversible condition,
and
2. after the patient’s physician writes a “do not resuscitate (DNR) order specifying the patients wishes
to withhold medical care.
3. The patient may revoke the Directive at any time.
• Hospitals are required by Medicare Conditions of Participation and JCAHO to inquire about Advanced
Directive status upon the patient’s admission and to instruct the patient about his/her option of having an
Advance Directive if so desired. If the patient has a Directive, the hospital is required to make it part of the
patient’s medical record. However, hospitals are not required to make the patient create an Advance
Directive or Power of Attorney for medical care. (TxPEC, 2009)
Core Aspects of Hospice Care
 Patient/family focused
 Interdisciplinary team care
 Provides a range of services:
– Interdisciplinary case management
– Pharmaceuticals
– Durable medical equipment
– Supplies
– Volunteers
– Grief support
Palliative vs. Hospice Care
Hospice is a “type” of palliative care for those who are at the

end of their lives.
Palliative care can be provided from the time of diagnosis.
Palliative care can be given simultaneously with curative

treatment.
Both services have foundations in the same philosophy of

reducing the severity of the symptoms of a sickness or old age.

Palliative Care is Universal
 Numerous governments have already adopted national palliative
care policies, including Australia, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Cuba,
France, Ireland, Norway, Spain, Uganda, South Africa and the
United Kingdom.
The Western Pacific Regional Office (WPRO) represents the

WHO in 37 countries of Asia Pacific.
About a quarter (25%) of the countries in the WPRO region have
an established system (“approaching integration”) for palliative
care that encompasses the entire country or have services
typically in large cities or highly populated regions (“localized
provision”).

Palliative Care in Indonesia
There is no standardized operating procedure for the provision of palliative care in Indonesia and no
quality indicators guiding the organization of palliative care in hospitals, in order to allow evaluation of
the implementation of palliative care in Indonesian hospitals (Effendy, 2015 (a))

Case Study
 Mr. Ray, a Patient with Prostate Cancer
Mr. Ray, a 57-year-old man with far advanced prostate cancer
and rapidly failing pulmonary status, wanted every measure
to be used to maintain life, including a tracheostomy and
respirator. He had a wonderful and caring family who wanted
whatever he wanted. Staff members felt that they were doing
harm by introducing these extraordinary measures but
complied with the patient’s wishes.

Case Study
 Mr. Ray had fought “the odds” on several previous occasions
and expected to do so again. He remained on a respirator for
6 weeks, during which time he was alert and cognitively
intact. What the staff did not realize was that during this time
the man was completing important work. He sold his
business, which he wanted to do before he died so that his
wife would not be burdened with this task after his death.
Once this goal was completed, Mr. Ray gave his physician the
“thumbs up” sign and indicated that he was ready to come off
the respirator.

Case Study
 The family was at peace with this decision, but the young physician who
was responsible for his care and had become very close to the patient and
family over the weeks struggled with the concept of prolonging death
versus hastening death if the respirator was withdrawn. Some of the
nursing staff were similarly troubled. It would have been easier not to
have started the treatment than to start and then withdraw it. An
experienced palliative care nurse mentored the young physician and
nurses through their personal ethical struggles and stayed by the
physician’s side as he administered the sedative drug and withdrew the
respirator. The patient died 2 days later; a family member was with him all
the time. The young physician expressed relief that the patient had not
died “right away” and said he felt more comfortable for having “not
crossed the line.”
