EXPECTED DEATH AT HOME PLANNING TOOL Purpose This too was developed to facilitate planning for pronouncement and certification when an expected death occurs at home. Nurses are permitted to pronounce death, but a Physician or Nurse Practitioner must complete the certification of death. Some Physicians/Nurse Practitioners choose to manage their patient throughout the course of a final illness and will attend when death occurs, pronounce, and certify death. If the Physician/Nurse Practitioner does not plan to attend there must be a process in place to ensure that families are not distressed by a lack of a plan at the time of death. Funeral Homes are not obliged to remove a body until after certification has taken place. In the case of an expected death, arrangements may be made at the discretion of the Funeral Director. If any person expresses any concern regarding a death that can not be satisfied by the care team present at the time of death, a coroner should be called. The coroner can be contacted through the hospital switchboard or the police. Instructions The algorithm, kept in the yellow Palliative Care Plan for Expected Death at Home folder, offers a step-by-step process for planning and should be initiated at the time the decision is made for a home death. Once it is decided who will pronounce and certify death, sign and date the planning tool. Record the information on Guidelines for Family/Caregiver at the Time of Death also contained in the aforementioned yellow folder.
