SUMMARY:Palliative Essentials in LTC: Conversations — Aligning Care with What Matters
DESCRIPTION:Connecting with residents is key to understanding who they are\, what matters most to their quality of life\, and how care can align with their values and preferences. This ECHO session focuses on goals of care conversations as a way to understand each resident as a unique person\, support their understanding of their health\, and explore care options. It also highlights how discussing expected changes can help residents and care partners prepare for what lies ahead\, including preferences for where care is provided and reassurance that long-term care teams can support end-of-life care when needed. \nPresenters: Jennifer Walker\, Palliative Care Physician\, Lions Gate Hospital and North Shore Hospice; Coastal Medical Lead for LTC (North Shore)\nMonica Kelly\, MSW\, RSW Lead\, Goals of Care Support Team\, VCH \nThurs\, June 4 12pm-1pm PT (60-Min.) \nCLICK HERE

SUMMARY:Palliative Essentials in LTC ECHO: Person centered symptom management – addressing pain
DESCRIPTION:Person centred pain management in long term care is a core palliative essential. Untreated pain in frail older adults leads to significant distress\, functional decline\, pain behaviours\, and reduces quality of life. This ECHO session focuses on effective pain management starting with understanding the resident’s goals of care and highlighting timely assessment including the use of behaviour based tools such as PAINAD for residents with dementia\, as well as appropriate use of analgesics including opioids\, addressing common fears about pain medications and strategies for effective communication with prescribers. \nPresenters: Gita Rafiee\, Clinical Nurse Specialist\, Fraser Health Authority for Long-Term Care & Assisted Living\nJennifer Walker\, Palliative Care Physician\, Lions Gate Hospital and North Shore Hospice; Coastal Medical Lead for LTC (North Shore) \nCLICK HERE
