Collateral historyDaughter :“ In progressive decline for year at least & much worse in past 3 weeks. Pleasantly confused with limited communication. Always happy and smiling. Loves to look pictures of the family. Walks on a rare good day with an arm or frame”

No previous discussion about her thoughts of future illness with her family or health professional- other than a D.N.A.R form, completed 2/12 previous at RSCH (her third admission of the last 6/12)

Agreement to give fluid replacement, oxygen, abx, treat constipation and remove catheter when possible……..

Progress

Page 8: Proactive anticipatory care planning

Did Mrs M.J receive best care?

Could we have anticipated her trajectory earlier?

Could this phase of her life have been better planned for in advance?

Was admission to hospital the right thing for her?

Could you say that hospital resources were well deployed?

How can we help people think about planning for times when they do not have capacity to convey their wishes?

How do we convey the best interests decisions made during her admission to her carers in the community?

G.M.C Guidelines 2010A person is considered to be approaching the end of life when they are likely to die in the next twelve months. This includes those imminently dying.This may be one of the following circumstances;

Advanced/progressive and incurable conditions.

General frailty with co existing conditions

Existing conditions that are at risk of a sudden acute crisis

Life threatening acute conditions that are caused by sudden catastrophic events.

Page 11: Proactive anticipatory care planning

Prognostic Indicator Guide: October 2011Three triggers that suggest that patients are nearing the end of life are: 1 The Surprise Question: ‘Would you be surprised if this

patient were to die in the next few months, weeks, days’?

2 General indicators of decline - deterioration, increasing need or choice for no further active care.

3 Specific clinical indicators related to certain conditions.

Page 12: Proactive anticipatory care planning

N.I.C.E: Quality standard for end of life care for adults (modified October 2013) The care that people approaching the end of life receive is aligned to their needs and preferences. Increased length of time spent in preferred place of care during the last year of life. Reduction in unscheduled care hospital admissions leading to death in hospital (where death in hospital is against their stated preference). Reduction in deaths in inappropriate places such as on a trolley in hospital or in transit in an ambulance.

Our concerns about dyingThe fear of the unknownBeing in pain, Sob, Nauseous, thirsty…..Leaving their families behindBeing aloneNot knowing what the prognosis isNot knowing what care is availableBeing kept alive at all costsBeing a burden to their familyPRISMA Survey 2013

Page 14: Proactive anticipatory care planning

Population statistics

500,000 people die each year In UK58% in hospital (74% would choose home)Increasing numbers of deaths in people aged over 85.50% of females live to over 85 (30% men)90% of patients will have hospital care in the last year of life with an average of 3.5 admissionsThere are 8 million people over 65

Page 15: Proactive anticipatory care planning

Attitudes to deathNational centre social research: British social attitudes survey 201270% Comfortable talking about death5% say they have set out how they would want to be cared for67% would prefer to die at home 11% have arranged their funeral 35% made a will28% wish to donate organs

Page 16: Proactive anticipatory care planning

Advanced care planningRoyal college of physicians guidelines 2009

“A process of formal decision making that aims to help patients establish decisions about future care that take effect when they lose capacity”

Page 17: Proactive anticipatory care planning

Discussing end of life careWhen exactly?When patient chooses…When diagnosed with a life limiting illnessWhere disease trajectory predictableWhen significant decline is recognisedAt an age threshold?On moving to care?

Who and where? Ideally the patients usual doctorBy a consultant in the outpatient setting By hospital team during inpatient admission?By palliative care specialist team

Page 18: Proactive anticipatory care planning

Formalised outcomes of advance care planning (from the MCA 2005)

1). Advance statement:A persons written or verbal thoughts, wishes, values, priorities that may help inform best interests decisions should the patient lose capacity to make a particular decision.2) Advanced decision to refuse treatment (ADRT)A specific refusal of treatment in a pre defined potential future situation. If referring to life sustaining treatment must be signed witnessed and state 'even if life at risk’. Legally binding if valid and applicable3) The appointment of a lasting power of attorney (L.P.A)

Page 19: Proactive anticipatory care planning

Advance Statement

Page 20: Proactive anticipatory care planning

Benefits of ACPPromotes patient autonomyAssists decision making in complex areas of patient careRelieves family anxietyEvidence of decreased days of hospital admission in last year of life(18 days v's 26)Resources and justice: less likely to experience unpleasant medical intervention. More likely to have clinicians focused on symptomatic careEvidence for increased likelihood of hospice admission and dying in your preferred place

Page 21: Proactive anticipatory care planning

Barriers to ACPClinicians confidence and expertise in discussing these topics

Time available to do so (Estimates of three meetings , taking an hour overall to complete an advance care plan)

Patients willingness to discuss their future and the vast number of individualised aspects to this reluctance

The difficulty in predicting how you might feel in the future about things you haven‘t experienced

Page 22: Proactive anticipatory care planning

The R.C.P March 2012: Improving end of life care

“Data from complaints and audits would suggest that either the self-reported confidence of physicians is sometimes misplaced, or that physicians are not putting their skills into practice. The earlier identification of patients entering their last phase of life and planning with them for their preferences for care is an area that is particularly lacking. Patients and their carers have an important role in helping staff to consider their practice more carefully.’

Page 23: Proactive anticipatory care planning

What about patients that do not have capacity to make decisions for their care?

The mental capacity act describes best interests decisions for those that do not have capacity to make the particular decision at the particular time

Any decisions made in a patients best interests about their future care, that may include end of life care is not called advance care planning and the conclusion cannot be said to be any of the potential formats as described by the M.C.A

The end of life care strategy group call this Care planning to distinguish it from advance care planning

Page 24: Proactive anticipatory care planning

Care planningIf a person lacks capacity to decide, care planning should involve their relatives, partner, close companions and any other care staff who know them or are responsible for their care

Care planning must focus on determining their best interests using the process required by the mental capacity act

If the patient who lacks capacity has no close friends or family and has not recorded any choices about their care or treatment, an IMCA should be instructed and consulted regarding these decisions

Page 25: Proactive anticipatory care planning

Care planning• Embraces the care of people with and without capacity

to make their own decisions• It involves a process of assessment and person centred

dialogue to establish the person’s;• Needs• Preferences and goals of care• Making decisions about how to meet these in the

context of available resources• Meeting immediate needs and predicting future needs• Making appropriate arrangements or contingency plans

to address these

Back to the caseMrs M.J had not participated in advance care planning before she lost capacityShe had not made an advance statement or A.D.R.T. and had not made a L.P.A Best interests decisions were made during her stay by her clinicians and family for her immediate careThe best interests decisions regarding the return to her NH for symptomatic care, comfort, peace and dignity will need to be conveyed to the community….What form should the documentation take and where should it be kept?

Page 28: Proactive anticipatory care planning

Capacity, care planning and advance care planning in life limiting illness

“There should be locally agreed policies about where care planning documentation (including any formalised outcomes of advance care planning) is kept and systems in place to enable sharing between the health and social care professionals involved in the care of an individual, including out of hours providers and ambulance services”

Page 29: Proactive anticipatory care planning

The PEACE Pilot: Kings and St Thomas’sProactive Elderly Advance Care PlanningIntroduced the PEACE document. This was completed for patients discharged to nursing homes.

For certain anticipated outcomes e.g. the patient develops an aspiration pneumonia, a practical care plan was given and where this plan could best be followed e.g. home or hospital

Result: None of the patients with PEACE documents were Readmitted. A proportion of patients without PEACE were.

Guildford and Waverley are calling this process:Proactive anticipatory care planning

The PACe document will convey Mrs M.J's best interest decisions to all that care for her in the community

If her health declines in ways as anticipated in the document an advisory care plan outlines how her care may be approached

Page 31: Proactive anticipatory care planning

PACe documentPersonal information :Details of those involved in the patient’s care Diagnosis , capacity assessment, and resuscitation status

Action categories :Intensive: Transfer to hospital for treatment if appropriate. Intubation, ventilation etc. should  be consideredHospital: Transfer to hospital for treatment if appropriateHome: Treatment, medication and comfort measures with support from GP Comfort: Palliative Medication by subcutaneous, oral or per rectal route, positioning, wound care and other measures to relieve suffering

Page 32: Proactive anticipatory care planning

AssessmentThe patients G.P or hospital consultant completes this section withAn action category and any comment appropriate

Example:Possible Developments specific to the person  e.g.“chest infection”

Action Category(see 4.1 below) (e.g.” Hospital” or “Home”)

CommentsPlease also see supplementary notes for carehome staff (appendix 2) e.g. “oral antibiotics appropriate”

Page 33: Proactive anticipatory care planning

ConclusionsWe should endeavour to identify appropriate circumstances to introduce and facilitate Advance care planning

For patients that lack capacity- CARE planning is the equivalent terminology. This planning can be recorded in the PACe document

PACe is being introduced to this trust
