Clinical Decisions in Palliative Care: The Frailty Factor
SESSION LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- 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. - 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.
- 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.
