EPE C for VE T E R A N S EPE C for VE T E R A N S Education in Palliative and End-of-life Care for Veterans is a collaborative effort between the Department of Veterans Affairs and EPEC ® Module 7 Comprehensive Whole Patient Assessment

Overall goal of whole patient assessment (WPA) A comprehensive assessment that includes all the issues that can contribute to suffering at the end of life

Objectives Describe concepts of suffering Use a framework to guide assessment Use a validated screening tool, NEST, to facilitate an initial screening assessment Carry out a detailed assessment of active issues

Clinical case

Introduction Veterans expect relief of suffering Key diagnostic tool Can have therapeutic effects Develops the clinician-Veteran relationship

The clinician’s role Listen Acknowledge Analyze Offer information, practical suggestions Introduce sources of support

Suffering Experienced by persons, not bodies meaning context coping Persons exist in relation to families biological acquisition chosen

Concepts of suffering Fragmentation of personhood – Cassell Broken stories – Brody Challenge to meaning – Byock Total pain – Saunders Relational distress- Ferrell and Coyle

The relief of suffering and the cure of disease must be seen as twin obligations. Failure to understand the nature of suffering can result in medical intervention that (though technically adequate) not only fails to relieve suffering but becomes a source of suffering itself. Eric Cassell, MD The nature of suffering

The broad perspective Depression affects experience of pain Medication useless if can’t get it Spiritual strength may enhance tolerance Feeling abandoned may be expressed as physical suffering Nonadherence to care plans, missing appointments, or becoming angry in interactions with health care personnel

Assessment overview … Summarize patient illness / treatment history Physical assessment Psychological assessment decision-making capacity

… Assessment overview Communication assessment Social assessment Spiritual assessment Practical assessment

Illness/treatment summary Histories can be complex Make sure you are satisfied with previous treatment

Physical assessment Common symptoms in advanced disease: pain, weakness / fatigue, dyspnea, insomnia, weight loss, confusion, constipation, anxiety, nausea / vomiting, and depression Inquire about each severity functionality

Psychological assessment Anxiety and depression are common and under diagnosed Let know emotional responses normal Discuss patient fears, unresolved issues, and goals of care Determine patient capacity

Decision-making capacity... Implies the ability to understand and make own decision Patient must understand information use the information rationally appreciate the consequences come to reasonable decision for him/her

... Decision-making capacity Any physician and some other clinicians can determine Capacity varies by decision Other cognitive abilities do not need to be intact

When a Veteran lacks capacity Proxy decision maker Sources of information written advance directives Veteran’s verbal statements Veteran’s general values and beliefs how patient lived his / her life best interest determinations

Communication assessment There are many different communication styles Determine who is close to the Veteran Ask how much information the Veteran wants to know Ask who else should receive information and how much

Culture learned, repetitive, characteristic way of behaving, feeling, thinking and being a strong determinant in attitudes toward health, illness, dying Veterans are acculturated to the military during their military service. This shared experience as a group will be expressed as part of the Veteran’s culture. Social assessment...

... Social assessment Veterans will vary in their self- identification with military and Veteran culture. Look for care networks in a Veteran’s community Explore financial concerns Allow Veteran to express the meaning of their illness

Spiritual assessment Learn aspects of Veteran’s spirituality past and current spirituality, important religious rituals, who pastor is, etc. ask if there are spiritual activities a patient wants to practice Be aware of and discuss spiritual crises

Practical assessment Ask about practical concerns and abilities, including functional status Learn about family or informal caregivers Make sure basic needs are being met

Initial screening tools Validated questionnaires NEST

NEST: 9 areas to screen  Needs social  Existential personal spirituality spiritual distress  Symptoms physical psychological  Therapeutic personal characteristics decision-making information sharing
