Clinical Decisions in Palliative Care: The Frailty Factor

 

SESSION LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  1.  Discuss how illness trajectories are changing, and how people diagnosed with life-limiting or life-threatening illnesses can now
    live many years with their condition.
  2. Assess change in level of frailty to establish goals of care and integrate a palliative approach to care: social support, advance care planning, and effective pain and symptom management throughout the trajectory of the illness.
  3. Plan for a palliative approach to be integrated into care for people with chronic, life-limiting conditions and people who are frail
    and vulnerable to infections or falls that could hasten death.
