Join BCCPA's Lunch and Learn to explore the “Essential Elements of a Palliative Approach in Long-Term Care, BC” created by a collaborative group of experts in long-termcare from all regional health authorities, the BC Ministry of Health, and leadership from affiliated care homes, and published by the BC Centre for Palliative Care in January 2025.

Learning objectives

Participants can expect to: deepen their understanding of the elements of a palliative approach in long term care and the benefits of integration; as well as explore strategies in the application, education, monitoring and sustaining of a palliative approach in long-term care including establishing quality indicators.

Speakers

Gita Rafiee, RN CNS Seniors, Community and Complex Care, Fraser Health
Della Roberts, RN Consultant Strategic Initiatives, BC Centre for Palliative Care

Background

Strongly endorsed by key long-term care leaders across British Columbia, the essential elements put forth an evidence-based set of best practices to implement and sustain a palliative approach in long term care. The purpose of outlining the essential elements is to influence systematic changes, to ensure that a palliative approach to care is integrated into residents’ care, from the time they move in, to their discharge. The key elements are categorized as clinical-centric and policy-centric.

The clinical-centric elements include effective goals of care conversations; optimizing comfort and symptom management; and care planning to support quality of life throughout the residents’ journey. The policy-centric elements include funding and service delivery models, engagement of healthcare clinicians, leadership, and volunteers, and quality monitoring and improvement initiatives. The essential elements outline practical actions that intersect at the leadership, bedside/front line, care-home, health authority, and provincial government levels.

This interactive webinar with experts from the BC Centre for Palliative Care and Fraser Health will introduce you to their work in palliative care and provide strategies you can use to embed these practices into day-to-day operations.
