Description:
Topics:
1. End of Life Care and Refusal of Treatment
Discuss ethically and legal appropriate end-of-life treatment choices with patients.
Explain the lines the line draws between appropriate and inappropriate end-of-life treatment choices for patients.
2. Dying and the Patient With Decision Making Capacity
Differentiate between instructional and proxy advance directives.
Explain the difference between advance directives and physicians orders regarding end-of-life treatment options.
Discuss these differences with patients with decision making capacity so that their wishes are memorialized in case of loss of that capacity.
Identify the gaps that arise between advance directives and orders in patient charts.
Assess the utility of POLST as a way to fill in those gaps.
3. When the Patient Lacks Decision Making Capacity (With or Without An Advance Directive)
Explain state laws that permit family members or others acting on behalf of patients lacking capacity to speak on their behalf.
Analyze decision making approaches under the three possibly applicable legal standards: substituted judgment, best interests, and the legally disfavored subjective test.
4. Palliative Care and Hospice
Explain the difference between palliative care and hospice.
Explain Medicare requirements for the coverage of hospice care.
Evaluate suggestions of hospice care made by other members of the care team or by hospice providers themselves
5. Futility: When Family Members Want It All
Explain legal recognition of death by neurological criteria and differentiate between issues involving patients satisfying that criteria and patients who do not, under the law.
Explain the concept of medical futility.
Distinguish between quantitative and qualitative futility.
Compare state laws specifically describing procedures to be followed when clinicians view a patient?s treatment as futile with state laws that are less procedurally specific.
6. Beyond Withholding and Withdrawing
Differentiate between aid in dying and euthanasia.
Explain the statutory requirements in the states imposing strict procedures and reporting requirements regarding aid in dying.
Evaluate the practice of aid in dying as it proceeds without strict requirements in some states.
Assess the clinical practice guidelines for the practice.
7. Case Discussions and Debriefing
Apply what was learned about patient capacity, brain death, and withholding and withdrawing life-sustaining treatment.
Relate principles to case scenarios.
Evaluate the relevance of principles discussed to attendee's own practice.
