SUMMARY:PACOP Fundamentals Workshop | Glen Waverly
DESCRIPTION:Palliative Aged Care Outcomes Program (PACOP) supports aged care homes (ACHs) to provide optimal palliative & end-of-life care for residents and their families. By embedding a framework of routine assessments to identify increasing palliative and end-of-life needs\, PACOP guides care planning to address these needs using an evidence-based practice and evidence-based responses. \nPACOP has developed a model of care that routinely monitors all residents\, thereby assisting in the early identification of palliative and/or end of life care needs. The model has two components which make up the complete PACOP program: \n1. The Profile Collection – routine\, regular\, sustainable assessments that monitor for any baseline changes in the resident \n2. The Outcomes Collection – residents identified with palliative and/or end of life care needs\, are transitioned to this part of the program where closer monitoring of the residents means rapid response to distress\, symptom management and care planning \nThis workshop provides an overview of the foundational knowledge required to implement the PACOP Profile & Outcomes Collection within your ACH.
