We had 58 patients last year who came to hospice only for hours of care (less 24 hours). We co-operate with about 20 residential houses, 15 hospitals, several home care teams out of our nearest region (30 km round the hospice) and 3-4 hospices. Day cost for inpatient care is 2200 crowns per day (cca 90 Euros), patients pay 13 Euros per day, health care insurance 50 Euros per day. St. Joseph s hospice 50 beds facility, home care services, quite large non- cancer palliative care programme Europenian project: Education for the staff taking palliative care on the patients with advanced dementia

10 Who does a categorization? Acute care: 2 neurologists, anesteziologists involved (at least), within days the whole team Family informed, involved in decisions Documentation from all discussions in team (care planning), with family

11 How? Documentation? Start of palliative care formulary Faculty Hospital Epicrisis: Based on the assessment of health status we are starting palliative care. Reasons: Patient despite maximum support and compensation for organ function leads to a permanent deterioration of health, from the reason of the underlying diseases are not medically influenced and the patient is in end stage of life threatening disease Ongoing support for the organ functions including cardiopulmonary resuscitation we consider to be futile The patient has signs of irreversible damage to the central nervous system The risk of complications, pain, discomfort when other treatment outweigh the real clinical benefit and risk the QoL for patient and family The plan of care: eg completition of antibiotic therapy norepinephrine dose of ug / kg / min spontaneous breathing through a tracheal tube oxygen with FiO2 0.3 nursing care Analgesia, opioids On the decision to initiate palliative therapy participated in the affirmative opinion: Signature: Signature:......
