3 Background: Why RAC needs the PA Toolkit Consensus that end-of-life care in RACFs is less than optimal. 1,2 Australian Institute of Health and Welfare reported that there were close to 180,000 people living in RACFs and that 90% of separations are due to death. 3 RACF residents are often hospitalised - 30 ED transfers for every 100 resident beds each year. 4 Estimated that 69% of RACF residents dying in hospital could have remained in the RACF to receive end-of-life care % of QLD RACF permanent residents had hospital leave between July 2010 June [1] Productivity Commission, Caring for Older Australians, Productivity Commission, Canberra, 2011 [2] A healthier future for all Australians Final Report June National Health and Hospitals Reform Commission, Canberra: NHHRC.

4 The Palliative Approach (PA) Toolkit for RACFs Purpose: Designed to assist RACFs to increase capacity to deliver comprehensive best-practice end-of-life care for their residents. Framework behind the PA Toolkit: Based on a process driven model using evidence-based tools. Components of the PA Toolkit: 3 Modules (Integrating a PA, Key processes, Clinical care), supported by a range of evidence-based practice resources (e.g. Guide to Pharmacological Management, RAC EoLCP) Brochures and forms Educational resources and DVDs National rollout: funded by DoSS and implemented by BSPCC

11 Key Process: Advance Care Planning (ACP) ACP is an interactive ongoing process of communication between a competent resident, or their substitute decision maker, and the aged care team focussing on the resident s future treatment preferences Can have legally binding components (e.g. AHD and EPOA) or less formal document Allows the aged care team to know the resident s wishes so that the team can advocate for the resident
12 Hierarchy of Decision Making Decision maker terminology and hierarchy of decision making differs from state to state Reference: Position statement Office of the Public Advocate WA. 2013
