Abstract:
e20749 Beginning of the hospice care in Poland is associated with democratic opposition in the eighties of the XX century and social movement Solidarity. In 1978, C. Saunders visited Gdansk, Warsaw, and Krakow, supporting an organization of palliative care in Poland. Polish hospice care, similarly to other countries,originated from the necessity of special care of terminally ill cancer patients. Palliative care societies, initially informal, then registered formally, emerged in Poland in 1981. Hospices, both institutional and house hospice care, came into being in all larger cities in Poland to the nineties of the XX century. In 1991, National Forum of the Hospice Movement was founded. This Forum, gathering the majority of hospices, is actually transformed into the association of societies: Forum of the Polish Hospices. In the nineties of the XX century, professional palliative care developed. Since 1998, specialization in the palliative care for both physicians and nurses is available. From the very beginning, hospice care based on the volunteers gathered at the Roman Catholic parish and several priests first organized palliative care. In 1991, The Sejm (lower chamber of the Polish Parliament) passed the law Health care institutions, enabling various societies and associations to establish health care institutions, whereas the law The Social Insurance Act (1997) gives an opportunity to get financial means for hospice care from the State. Actually, there are hospices acting on voluntary service (the number of such hospices decreases), partial voluntary service and also paid employees, and institutions which activities are based on full-time employment and financed by the National Health Fund. About 130 non-profit societies and hospice foundations both secular andchurch exist in Poland. Non-public health care institutions founded 99 hospices. About 70 hospices (both public and private) are stationary. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract:
Introduction. This article reviews the brief history of palliative care spreading, it also studies specific characteristics of palliative care centers architecture. It also gives attention to the current condition of hospices in our country, and to the problems and opportunities that these hospices face. Materials and methods. Studies consider, firstly, methods of comparative analysis and synthesis of foreign and domestic scientific, literary and design materials; secondly, use of opinion poll findings; thirdly, use of interdisciplinary approach, which takes into account issues in the fields in medicine, sociology, legal regulations, that affect a set of requirements for hospice and palliative care centers design. Results. of the survey are presented as recommendations for the design of hospice territory, their landscaping, architectural planning and architectural-artistic characteristics of hospice design. These results can be used in architectural practice of hospice and palliative care centers design, as well as in the teaching and learning process as guidelines for hospice and palliative care centers design. Conclusions. Basic recommendations for hospice design are introduced. Problem analysis in the context of architectural planning and city planning organization of hospices will help to improve the structure of such architectural objects, and investigate their typology for future evolution. Public involvement in palliative care evolution, and in particular from the point of view of their architectural and spatial design, places an emphasis not only on currently dominating entertainment culture, but also on human duty and dignity.

Abstract:
88 Background: In a survey of different cancer centers in the United States, only 23% reported having dedicated palliative care beds and hospital executives have reported not having further plans for expansion of their program. Barriers that are often cited include poor reimbursement for services, limited institutional support and resources. Patients admitted to an Acute Palliative care unit (APCU) benefit from the multidisciplinary approach that is evident in daily rounds, interdisciplinary team meetings, and family conferences. There could be occasionally misconceptions about the differences between inpatient hospice and an APCU. Even though the psychosocial component of palliative care is extremely important a significant amount of medical interventions also are necessary to provide patients and family with a sense of and optimal care during this time. Methods: A retrospective chart reviewed was performed in 100 consecutives patients admitted to the APCU and inpatient hospice prior to October 2013. From this data we identified the acute medical interventions ordered by the palliative Care specialist tduring the first 5 days of admission. Results: A total of 100 patients from the APCU and 100 patients from inpatient hospice were reviewed. In the APCU 100% of patients had iv fluids vs 7% in inpatient hospice. Antibiotics were given in 52% of APCU patients vs 2% in the inpatient hospice. Steroids were given in 48% of APCU patients vs 30% in inpatient hospices. (See Table). Conclusions: The APCU in comparison to inpatient hospices had higher rate of acute medical interventions with the most common been iv fluids, antibiotics, laboratory and radiologic diagnostic tests. This represent the importance of Acute Palliative Care Units in advanced cancer patients with complicated situations to achieve comfort when transitioning to EOL. [Table: see text]

Abstract:
Purpose Radiation oncologists and hospice professionals both provide end-of-life care for oncology patients, and little has been written about the interface between these two groups of specialists. Hospice professionals were surveyed to assess the perceived need for palliative radiotherapy in the hospice setting, to investigate factors that limit the access of hospice patients to radiotherapy, and to suggest areas of future collaboration on education, research, and patient advocacy. Patients and Methods Members of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) and American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology jointly authored a questionnaire to investigate the beliefs of hospice professionals toward the use of radiotherapy for oncology patients in hospice. The questionnaire was distributed to all NHPCO member institutions, and the results were compiled and statistically analyzed. Results Four hundred eighty of more than 1,800 surveyed facilities responded to the questionnaire. The findings suggest that the majority of hospice professionals feel that radiotherapy is important in palliative oncology and that radiotherapy is widely available in the United States. Yet less than 3% on average of hospice patients served by hospices responding to the survey actually received radiotherapy in 2002. The most common barriers to radiotherapy in hospice care include radiotherapy expense, transportation difficulties, short life expectancy, and educational deficiencies between the specialties. Conclusion Multiple barriers act to limit the use of palliative radiotherapy in hospice care. Finding ways to surmount these obstacles will provide opportunity for improvement in the end-of-life care of cancer patients.

Abstract:
Hospice care is a type of care and philosophy of care that focuses on the palliation of a terminally ill or seriously ill patient's pain and symptoms, and attending to their emotional and spiritual needs (Powell 2014). The concept of hospice has been evolving since the 11th century. Then, and for centuries thereafter, hospices were places of hospitality for the sick, wounded, or dying, as well as those for travellers and pilgrims (Dossey 1999). The modern concept of hospice includes palliative care for the incurably ill given in such institutions as hospitals or nursing homes, but also care provided to those who would rather spend their last months and days of life in their own homes (McCue and Thompson 2006).

Abstract:
BackgroundVolunteers working in hospice and palliative care facilities in Poland undertake various activities which are performed in accordance with legal regulations and the individual policies of each hospice. The aim of this study was to explore the roles and training of volunteers working in hospice and palliative care settings.MethodsA cross-sectional survey was carried out that investigated the services performed by volunteers and their preparation for work within residential hospices. Questionnaires were distributed to volunteers and hospice representatives, and the responses obtained underwent statistical analysis.ParticipantsA total of 180 volunteers and 28 hospice representatives from 29 residential hospices participated in this survey.ResultsAll hospices surveyed were supported by volunteers. 79% of volunteers worked alongside patients and performed the following services: accompanying patients (76%), feeding patients (61%), cleaning rooms (48%), dressing and bathing (42%) and organising leisure time (40%). Fewer volunteers were involved in activities outside of patient support—for example, charity work and fundraising (34%), cleaning hospice buildings (23%) as well as providing information and education (22%). According to volunteers, prior to undertaking their duties, 64% participated in theoretical training and 37% took part in a practical course. The majority attended courses relating to general knowledge of hospice and palliative care (64%) and volunteer rights and duties (55%).ConclusionsOverall, proper training was an essential requirement needed to be fulfilled by volunteers, particularly when involved in direct patient support. Most volunteers were simultaneously involved in various areas of service; therefore, their training should be comprehensive.

Abstract:
139 Background: The VA advocates for both palliative care and concurrent care (hospice care and cancer-directed treatment). Studies indicate that these policies have increased hospice use and have improved family-reported outcomes and other quality metrics. However, little is known about how palliative care, hospice care and concurrent care may interact to obtain these outcomes. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of veterans dying with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer in 2012. VA and Medicare administrative data were used to identify the cohort, chemotherapy and radiation use, hospitalizations, hospice use and length of stay (LOS). Palliative care use was determined by VA data only. Analyses included descriptive statistics, chi-square and analysis of variance. Results: Of the 1763 veterans, 850 (48.2%) received both palliative care and hospice, 392 (22.2%) received hospice only, 241 (13.7%) received palliative care only and 280 (15.9%) received neither. Receipt of cancer-directed treatment or hospitalization in the last 30 days of life was significantly different across these groups (p < 0.0001) and was highest at 65% (182/280) in the neither palliative care or hospice group. In the remaining groups, rates of cancer-directed treatment or hospitalization in the last 30 days were: 39.4% (95/241) in palliative care only, 29.3% (115/392) in hospice only and 23% (198/850) with both palliative care and hospice. Concurrent care was received by 314 veterans (17.8%), 275 also receiving palliative care. Among veterans receiving palliative care and Medicare hospice, concurrent care did not alter hospice utilization rates or LOS: 36.4% (100/275), LOS mean 22.3, median 16.5, range 1-97 and 37.2% (214/575), LOS mean 20.1, median 13, range 1-94, for concurrent care and non-concurrent care respectively. Conclusions: The rates of cancer-directed treatment or hospitalization in the last 30 days of life appeared to be reduced in a continuum from receipt of neither hospice nor palliative care, to receipt of palliative care or hospice alone, followed by receipt of both together. Concurrent care use was facilitated by palliative care without impacting Medicare hospice use or LOS in palliative care recipients.

Abstract:
This inquiry, which employed a narrative research approach, critically explored the ethical dimension of hospice palliative care. Hospice palliative care is the profession specifically developed to care for the dying. The development of this practice has grown significantly since the 1980s in Australia, yet ethical inquiry into this professional practice has largely focused on particular issues, problems or dilemmas, such as euthanasia. Although particular ethical issues are important considerations, a broader investigation of the ethics of hospice palliative care practice has not been given sufficient consideration in the growing accumulation of the research literature in Australia. Jennings (1997) surmises that “systematic reflection on ethics in the hospice field is curiously underdeveloped” (p. 2). This study goes someway towards filling this gap. In building upon the Pallium research by European scholars and integrating a social practice framework (Isaacs, 1998) this inquiry provides an alternative account of the ethical agenda and one which has privileged an internal exploration, rather than assume that the ethics would be the same as any other health care modality or to simply adopt a dominant, principles-based approach. These internal explorations were located in the storied accounts of thirty interdisciplinary hospice palliative care professionals. This thesis provides a thorough, textual conversation into the realm of ethical caregiving at the end of life. Several key insights were illuminated. Firstly, total care must be central to the philosophy underpinning hospice palliative care practice, but this concept and practice of total care was being eroded and contested. Secondly, a predominantly modernist account of personhood was located in the narrative accounts. This modernist account of personhood was thought to be insufficient for the practice of total care and needed to be reconceptualised. An embedded ontological account was provided which would assist with the understanding and practice of total care. Thirdly, initially it was thought that there was no common, shared understanding of the purpose of the practice. It was suggested that the profession was “wandering in the wilderness” when it came to the aim of its practice. However, the professionals did share a common telos (aim towards a good) and it was overwhelmingly relational. This led to the proposal of a new telos for hospice palliative care practice centered on the creation and maintenance of unique relationships which would assist people in their final stage of life. Lastly, the ethical frameworks which guided practice for the professionals were presented. In these frameworks it was significant values (acceptance of human mortality, total care and honest and open communication) and relationships (how we treat each other) which played the main role in what constituted hospice palliative care ethics. An account of a hospice palliative care ethical relationship was provided which included a proximity stance of in-between. Overall, any ethic for hospice palliative care must have at the heart the relationship between professional caregiver and living-dying person. The relationships in this social practice, between each other, accompanying one another, are our ethical compass. This thesis concluded that hospice palliative care, as a social practice, has a rich ethical dimension as understood and articulated by its professional members. These insights have resulted in the construction of a new ethical framework reflecting, formalising and adapting the ethical dimension as understood by its professional members. This ethical framework - A Relational Ethic of Accompanying - is needed to help maintain, sustain and protect the unique identity of this profession. This framework adds to the “moral vocabulary” (Jennings, 1997) and “moral specificity” (ten Have & Clark, 2002) of hospice palliative care practice. In addition, it would provide important guidance to palliateurs reflecting on how best to provide quality, compassionate and ethical care at the end of life.

Abstract:
Hospice is a place of caring, a place where life is measured in quality, not quantity. During a terminally ill patientâ s final weeks, days or hours, it is important that hospice facilities provide comfort through any and every means possible. The physician administers pain relief, the building has the ability to administer a kind of relief the patient may not even cognitively perceive. Through the eyes of a terminally ill patient, the architect should consider the views, connections and relationships the patient has with their surroundings. Keeping the patientsâ experiences at the forefront of all design decisions, the architect can promote a sense of dignity within the patients that seems to be lost in most modern health care facilities. This thesis proposes a 30-bed hospice to be built along the Skógafoss falls in Skógar, Iceland. The hospice design addresses the patientsâ connections to the physician, structure and natural surroundings through articulation of spaces based on these relationships. The placement of every element within the hospice, from the patientsâ bed to the physiciansâ offices, can have a drastic effect on the patientsâ experiences in many ways. Exploring layouts and forms not common in traditional health care design, the hospice at Skógafoss falls provides an experience unique to any hospice in the world. The spatial connections and materiality of the hospice allow the patients to determine their own relationships to the facility and the natural world beyond. Through simplicity and mindfulness, the hospice can be more than a place to die. Rather it is a place for one to spend their final hours with both comfort and dignity.

Abstract:
This project attempts to describe how a hospice and palliative care partnership program works. Through the assessment of one such program, the researcher sought to find out the essential components of the partnership including how the two partner organizations interact and work together. Data was collected using various methods: document review of organization documents such as newsletters, annual or quarterly reports, brochures and other available literature e.g. materials on organizations’ website and on social media; in-depth interviews with stakeholders of both organizations that included staff and board members; observation of staff working; and participant observation during organization events. The findings of the research shows that in order for organizations to have an effective partnership program in place, both partners need to have strong leadership in place, possess a willingness to learn from each other, maintain regular communication, and visit each other regularly. With this in place, several outcomes of the program are likely such as: increasing advocacy for hospice and palliative care, increasing visibility of the organizations both nationally and internationally, and provides an opportunity for organizations to network with other organizations in their locality in order to achieve partnership objectives. The study further reveals that global collaborations in the field of hospice and palliative care began with the advent of the international hospice movement. The assessment of this hospice partnership demonstrates how organizations can establish working relationships and the results likely to come out of such an initiative.

Abstract:
Bereavement intervention is subsumed within palliative programme philosophy which encompasses the family as the unit of care and provides a continuum of care that extends beyond the death of a family member. There is no available research on the effect of post-bereavement intervention within palliative programming, and very limited research exists that evaluates the effect of intervention on bereavement outcome. This exploratory study endeavors to differentiate bereavement outcome between two populations having palliative/hospice program support but only one choosing to participate in bereavement follow-up. A mixed strategy of quantitative and grounded theory approaches provided an expanded analysis through which meaning structures and time/process parameters for grieving individuals were explored. The study extended from idiosyncratic data into the realm of larger systemic interactions. An important finding was that the amount of time for preparation for the death of a family member is crucial. Other mitigating factors influencing the grief outcome were social support, network viability, and age.

Abstract:
Patients with terminal illness may benefit greatly from hospice and palliative care. Studies of patients with chronic terminal illness revealed that those who did not received palliative or hospice care experienced poor quality medical care characterized by untreated symptoms, unmet spiritual and personal care needs, increased burden for the caregiver, and low patient and family satisfaction (Meier, 2011). According to the World Health Organization (2011), palliative care is offered at the time of diagnosis alongside potentially curative treatment and can be utilized during the trajectory of illness until death. Hospice is a Medicare benefit considered the model for quality, compassionate care during the last 6 months of life and is available to all patients regardless of age, religion, race, or illness (Medicare Hospice, 2011). This study examined why patients with non-cancerous terminal illness were not receiving timely palliative or hospice care by interviewing primary care providers. A systemic literature review suggested possible barriers including confusion between palliative and hospice care, lack of understanding about the scope and intent of hospice care (McAteer & Wellberry, 2013), prognostic uncertainty, timing, and no clear point to originate a referral (LeMond & Allen, 2011). Insufficient training for primary care providers, including the lack of familiarity with various prognostic tools that aid in determining eligibility for the patient with a non-cancerous, terminal diagnosis might also be a barrier to referral (McAteer & Wellberry, 2013). Lastly, primary care providers lacked confidence in communicating the need for advanced care planning in non-cancerous terminal illnesses according to a survey done by Karlekar, Collier, Paish, Olson, & Elsay (2014). The findings of this study confirmed the available literature. Much work is needed to educate providers and incorporate palliative care and hospice guidelines in academic institutions and in practice. Regulatory issues need continuous attention as the landscape of coverage, payment, and reimbursement changes rapidly. Further research is needed so that this vulnerable population will benefit from early interventions and a better understanding and acceptance of their non-cancerous terminal illness.

Urban Bioethics
M.A.
Those who have known an individual with a chronic medical condition or someone that has been diagnosed with a terminal illness have experienced the physical and emotional toll these diagnoses have on both patients and their loved ones. Medical providers encounter these situations daily and are often responsible for assisting the patient and their family in the decision-making process. The specialty of Hospice and Palliative Medicine was created specifically with these difficult, but very common, situations in mind. Even though the concept of palliative care has become mainstream and its practice is considered standard of care in many situations, it continues to be misunderstood, misrepresented, and underutilized, despite providing measurable benefits to patients, families and the healthcare system. This paper explores two systemic barriers to palliative care that contribute to this problem and highlights how race, cultural mistrust, and a long history of racial disparities in health care work together to undermine the effective delivery of palliative care.

Abstract:
Objectives. To evaluate availability, effectiveness, and implementation of interventions for integrating palliative care into ambulatory care for U.S.-based adults with serious life-threatening chronic illness or conditions other than cancer and their caregivers We evaluated interventions addressing identification of patients, patient and caregiver education, shared decision-making tools, clinician education, and models of care. Data sources. We searched key U.S. national websites (March 2020) and PubMed®, CINAHL®, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (through May 2020). We also engaged Key Informants. Review methods. We completed a mixed-methods review; we sought, synthesized, and integrated Web resources; quantitative, qualitative and mixed-methods studies; and input from patient/caregiver and clinician/stakeholder Key Informants. Two reviewers screened websites and search results, abstracted data, assessed risk of bias or study quality, and graded strength of evidence (SOE) for key outcomes: health-related quality of life, patient overall symptom burden, patient depressive symptom scores, patient and caregiver satisfaction, and advance directive documentation. We performed meta-analyses when appropriate. Results. We included 46 Web resources, 20 quantitative effectiveness studies, and 16 qualitative implementation studies across primary care and specialty populations. Various prediction models, tools, and triggers to identify patients are available, but none were evaluated for effectiveness or implementation. Numerous patient and caregiver education tools are available, but none were evaluated for effectiveness or implementation. All of the shared decision-making tools addressed advance care planning; these tools may increase patient satisfaction and advance directive documentation compared with usual care (SOE: low). Patients and caregivers prefer advance care planning discussions grounded in patient and caregiver experiences with individualized timing. Although numerous education and training resources for nonpalliative care clinicians are available, we were unable to draw conclusions about implementation, and none have been evaluated for effectiveness. The models evaluated for integrating palliative care were not more effective than usual care for improving health-related quality of life or patient depressive symptom scores (SOE: moderate) and may have little to no effect on increasing patient satisfaction or decreasing overall symptom burden (SOE: low), but models for integrating palliative care were effective for increasing advance directive documentation (SOE: moderate). Multimodal interventions may have little to no effect on increasing advance directive documentation (SOE: low) and other graded outcomes were not assessed. For utilization, models for integrating palliative care were not found to be more effective than usual care for decreasing hospitalizations; we were unable to draw conclusions about most other aspects of utilization or cost and resource use. We were unable to draw conclusions about caregiver satisfaction or specific characteristics of models for integrating palliative care. Patient preferences for appropriate timing of palliative care varied; costs, additional visits, and travel were seen as barriers to implementation. Conclusions. For integrating palliative care into ambulatory care for serious illness and conditions other than cancer, advance care planning shared decision-making tools and palliative care models were the most widely evaluated interventions and may be effective for improving only a few outcomes. More research is needed, particularly on identification of patients for these interventions; education for patients, caregivers, and clinicians; shared decision-making tools beyond advance care planning and advance directive completion; and specific components, characteristics, and implementation factors in models for integrating palliative care into ambulatory care.
