Key indicator for the transition
Reference documents for that transition
Roles of MOA
GP
Specialist
Home & Community care – case manager, care
coordinator, or home care nurse
Family, informal caregivers and volunteers
have key roles in care

Working together GP and Home and
Community Care?

Transition 1
Advancing Disease
Would not be surprised if pt died in next year
– Discuss goals, wishes & plans as illness advances.
Initiate advance care planning.
– Identify other involved providers & ensure information
exchange.
– Medical assessment of patient symptoms, needs &
supports.
– Consider referral - Chronic disease clinics. Home and
Community Care if functional status declining and home
based supports needed.
9
Transition 2
Decompensation
Prognosis months versus more than a year;
cancer – PPS 50%
Focus on Integrated Care Planning & Coordination with
Home and Community Care
 Coordination of care conversation: GP and HCN.
 Enable ready access to achieve co-provision of
care vs parallel practice.
 Assess needs and develop plan
 Tools – BC Palliative Care Benefits application
(drugs & HCN assessment); GP letter
from Home Health
10
Criteria for BC palliative benefits
• Criteria is both prognosis and needs based
– Last months of life versus years (approx 6
months)
– Functional decline. (PPS 50%)
– Accepting of palliative focus of services.
11
Transition 3
Dependency and symptoms
• Increased frequency of team communication.
• HCN & GP connecting as are anticipating changes,
responding to acuity, preparing patient & family for
changes and death.
• Identify goal and backup – home death or
hospice/hospital.
• GP home visit – ideal in conjunction with HCN; plan for
24 hr access to support for patient/family.
• Tools – palliative care planning conference; No CPR
order; preparation for time of death; may complete
Notification of Death form.
12
Transition 4
Last days
• Responsiveness / plan required – anticipating dying –
may be change in plan for home death.
• Nurse and physician: Reinforce family preparation what
to expect prior to death and at time of death.
• Anticipate route changes, meds for active dying.
• Clear plan who to call for what 24/7.
• Complexity – HPC consult.
• Tools – medication kits; Notification of Expected Death
13

• needs, expectations and outcomes from the
consultation

share care effectively.
16
Identification of Patients who may benefit
from Palliative Approach
• Surprise question
• Die of illness where you are providing
consultation?
• Die of comorbidities?
• Choice or need for comfort care
• Clinical indicators
• Sentinel events
17
Specialty Practice and EOL
• If palliative approach appropriate:
• reflect in treatment recommendations
• give GP permission/advice about stopping
medications.
• Inform patient/family

treatment
• realistic outcomes of treatment options
• Give patient “My Voice”:
• follow up with yourself &/or family physician
– include in communications to GP
18
Specialty Practice and EOL
• Shared care through end of life
• Include recommendations for disease specific
symptom management as patient approaches
end of life.
• Indicate availability for access to advice as
patient enters 4th transition to support GP in the
care of patient at end of life. (telephone fees
available to both to support)

Table discussion
Think about your practice in relation to the
palliative approach:
• How can you more effectively work as a team
with these patients?
• How can you support one another?
• What could you do differently to maximize
the roles and time of all primary providers?
22
Collaborative practice: Table discussion
Identify one aspect of
care that you will do
differently in your
practice and when
