Few of us will die acute deaths
90% of us will die with one or more chronic
illnesses
29% of us will die of cancer
36% will die of heart or vascular disease
By age 85, 47% of us will suffer from
dementia

Hospice Palliative Care (HPC)
A philosophy of care and range of active, supportive
services provided across several settings of care (home,
hospital, hospice, LTC/CC and settings of
marginalization) to enhance the quality of living, dying
and surviving.
Appropriate for any patient and/or family living with, or at
risk of developing, a life-threatening illness due to any
diagnosis, with any prognosis, regardless of age, and at
any time they have unmet expectations and/or needs,
and are prepared to accept care.

Start with the end in mind…
What are we trying to achieve?
Canadians should be able to live well
and die as free of pain and suffering as
possible in the setting of their choice,
surrounded by loved ones.

Rethinking Palliation
Need to broaden our understanding of palliation.
Hospice Palliative Care (HPC) as introduced in 2002
Model provides a pathway for improving care which
addresses Chronic Progressive Illness.
HPC as a philosophy/model of care is broader than the
earlier palliative care services provision model.
Each dying process/death event impacts at least 8
others directly – considerable hidden health risks/costs.
Emerging opportunities to provide different supports at
the community-level (e.g., practical/ advanced care
planning; transportation; bereavement support).

A Growing Need
Around 250,000 Canadians will die this year as many
as 165,000 could use hospice palliative care services.
Not just about cancer, but other major causes of
expected death including:
End-stage organ failure (e.g., heart, lung, renal)
Neurological illness (e.g., Alzheimer’s, ALS, MS)
Immunological illness (e.g., HIV/AIDS)
Many people are living much longer with illnesses which
will lead to an expected death, often with pain/suffering.
At present less than 15% of Canadians have access to
hospice palliative care services in Canada. Rural and
remote Canada is generally doing much worse than
most cities.

The Current Reality
Canadians are living longer, Baby Boomers are aging –
if we aren’t meeting the needs today what will we do in
20 years?
33% more deaths by 2020
Most Canadians say they would like to die at home or
stay at home as long as possible yet 75% die in acute
care beds or long term care homes(2000)
Increased use of acute beds, unnecessary pain and
suffering, and misuse/overuse of health delivery system
when families are not supported with quality services.

Specific Things We Can Do
Recognize that living well until death is not “black and
white” – it is often many shades of grey involving
complex care and needs provided by many.
Recognize that many health care professionals might
find these issues difficult
Learn to “reframe hope” for the long-view.
