40 SDoH & Palliative Care: The gap is real Palliative care patients living in the poorest neighbourhoods (still housed) in Ontario: were least likely to get a home visit from a doctor (29.4% vs 40.2%) were more likely to have unplanned ED visits (65.4% vs 59.8%) were more likely to get admitted to hospital in their last 30 days of life (64.5% vs 58.9%) were more likely to die in hospital (68.5% vs 61.5%) Health Quality Ontario, 2016
41 A key determinant of palliative care access YOUR POSTAL CODE!
42 Correlations to access Education Income Social class Campbell, 2010
43 Our accountability to a human right Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and wellbeing of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control. - UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights
44 Palliative care: our accountability An approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing the problem associated with life-threatening illness, through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification and impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, physical, psychosocial and spiritual - WHO definition of Palliative Care, 2002
45 Structural vulnerability An individual s or a population group s condition of being at risk for negative health outcomes through their interface with socioeconomic, political, and cultural/normative hierarchies. Patients are structurally vulnerable when their location in their society s multiple overlapping and mutually reinforcing power hierarchies (e.g., socioeconomic, racial, cultural) and institutional and policy-level statuses (e.g., immigration status, labor force participation) constrain their ability to access health care and pursue healthy lifestyles. - Bourgois et al, 2017
46 10 Promising Practices to improve Palliative Care delivery for the homeless & vulnerably housed
47 1. Let s not reinvent the wheel: integrate social & health services
48 2. The name of the game is coordination
49 3. Keep your eyes on the prize: Build community capacity
50 4. Provide palliative care where people are at
51 5. Adopt harm reduction approaches to care
52 6. Ensure flexibility in program policies
53 7. Training & education
54 8. Prioritize client dignity
55 9. Employ holistic care models
56 10. Foster peer supports: Include street and/or chosen family in care

59 Lessons Learned The palliative trajectories of the homeless & vulnerably housed are uniquely complex There is a need to develop flexible, integrated & mobile care models to meet the complex physical & psychosocial needs of the homeless Early evidence suggests that emerging mobile models meet patient needs AND reduce healthcare utilization Sustainable funding models are required to support emerging program models
60 Lessons Learned Emerging models derive greater success when integrated within larger healthcare systems, providing structure, technical and staffing supports, while framing the model in the context of a larger referral base Collaboration between Palliative Care providers and health/social providers working with the homeless is essential to build effective, holistic and flexible care models that can be tailored to different communities Unified definitions & criterion among service providers can allow for streamlining specific pathways of care, to optimize resources & best serve the homeless
