Advanced Illness and End of Life Care:
The IOM Perspective
14. Advanced Illness Care
“Occurring when one or more conditions become
serious enough that general health and functioning
decline, and treatments begin to lose their impact.
The process that continues to the end of life.”
-Coalition to Transform Advanced Care
17. Disease Burden
Multiple chronic conditions
2/3 of people over 65
New cancer cases
45% increase from 2010 2030
Alzheimer’s disease and dementias
5.5 million in 2010 8.7 million in 2030
Parkinson’s disease
Prevalence to double in the next 30 years.
18. Care
People dying in
acute care
hospitals
Deaths in
nursing homes
and hospice
• # of Americans needing long-term care: more than double by 2050
• Medicare deaths in acute care hospitals: 33% 2000 25% in 2009
• Growing number of deaths in nursing homes
• Hospice care: 1995, 17% of US deaths 2011, 45%
• By 2011, 85% hospitals with 300+ beds had palliative care services
19. Costs

or about $170 billion, on patients’ last six
months of life.
20. Decision-Making
40% of adult medical inpatients incapable of making
their own treatment decisions

72. 2014 IOM Report: Dying in America
Shared decision making encompasses:
• Eliciting and understanding the patient’s
perspective;
• Understanding the patient’s psychosocial and
emotional context;
• Developing a shared understanding of the
clinical problem and its appropriate treatment,
given the patient’s goals, preferences, and
values; and
• Empowerment, which is achieved through active
involvement of patients in decision making.
LeBlanc, T. W., and J. A. Tulsky. In press. Communication with the patient and family. In Oxford textbook of palliative
medicine, 5th ed., edited by N. Cherney, M. Fallon, S. Kaasa, R. Portenoy, and D. Currow. Oxford, England:
Oxford University Press.
73. This description is useful, but we need
more detail for folks with advanced
illness…
To get to shared decision-making and planning
requires (for persons with advanced illness)…
1. …a shift from a primary focus on goals of
medical care, to a thoughtful exploration and
clarification of personal goals and values;
2. …a specific exploration of fears and concerns
as well as gaps in knowledge and
understanding;
3. …a realization that this not just about the
individual but also about the individual’s
“family” and community relationships.
74. When Care Planning uses this person-
centered, shared decision-making model,
it can tie the clinical and the community
together in two important, related ways…
Through a common:
1. process and structure of planning and decision
making; and,
2. ethical footing.
75. A Common Process and Structure for
Share Decision-Making
• Focused on the person and family perspectives,
the planning and any decision that follow
centers around a single, key question: How do
the explored values and goals of the person and
family, tied to the clinical realities, help define
what it means to provide good care for this
person?
• To thoughtfully answer this question requires
the intentional input and contribution of the
person, those closest to this person, their
broader community, and the clinical.
76. The Shared Ethical Basis:
Care Relationships
The ethical footing of this approach is the ethic of
caring relationships:
Relationship Ethical Value
Health professional/patient Beneficence…acting in the best
interest of the patient
Individual/family or loved ones Love
Individual/community Respect, Sanctity of Life
77. The Respecting Choices® Model
This model is a systematic approach to care planning
that uses person-centered, shared decision-making
decision making and is designed to:
1. Provide a standardized process for care planning
that may be used in both the clinical and
community settings;
2. Build care planning into the routine of all care;
3. Create processes so care plans are stored,
revisited, and communicated so that they are
always available and up-to-date;
4. Prepare both patients and their appointed
surrogates to make decisions when the time arises;
5. Improve care and outcomes for all involved.
78. Helping Community and Health
Organizations Implement this Model
• Respecting Choices has created a
implementation pathway that provides a means
for health organizations to develop this care
planning approach so that it can become part of
the routine of care and can be integrated into
community engagement.
• RC has been successfully implemented in 5
countries and over 120 health organizations in
the USA.

81. “What is spoken of as a
“clinical picture” is not
just a photograph of a
man sick in bed; it is an
impressionistic painting
of the patient surrounded
by his home, his work, his
relations, his friends, his
joys, sorrows, hopes and
fears….”
The Care of the Patient
Francis W. Peabody, MD, JAMA 1927
Edvard Munch, The Sick Child, 1927
82. “The difficulty is that in
the hospital one gets into
the habit of using the oil
immersion lens instead of
the low power, and
focuses too intently on
the center of the field.”

91. What Elements Worked (or Not)?
What Worked…
A compelling “why”
Evidence
Invest – not just “stretch”
Partnership (seek win-win)
Layers and triage
Embedded support
Value team- and self-care
Harness non-PC champions
Think “learning system”
…Not So Much
Seeking perfection
“Prove it” mentality
Silos – thinking too narrowly
Demands on referring MDs
Failing to assess needs
Failing to triage
“Auto-referrals”
Leaving out community
Slow to standardize
or
92. Examples of Positive Shared Outcomes
Documented goals, values and care preferences
More concordant care (i.e., delivery matches wishes)
Care plan communication across care settings
Increased access to specialty PC support
More hospice use
Less unwanted (by all) hospital, ER or ICU care
Less total costs (for patients, family and system)
Greater meaning around the work we do
Asking and honoring “what matters most”

vs. 1 palliative medicine doctor to every 1,200 patients with
serious or life-threatening illnesses.1
•Hospital-based palliative care — increasing access
Since 2008, 19% increase in palliative care teams in hospitals.
85% of large (>300 beds) hospitals have teams.1
• Resources: Approximately 25-30% of Medicare costs incurred in last year of life; in
last month, 80% of expenditures are for hospitalization.2

117. Aetna Compassionate Care (ACCP)
•Goals of the program:
• Provide additional support to members
• with advanced illness and their families/caregivers
• Help them access optimal care
• The goal is not to create or encourage hospice,
although hospice can be a choice when appropriate
and requested by the member.
118. Holistic, Member-Centric Case Management
Help member understand options, with nurse case managers who are trained
to:
•Assess and manage members’ care in a culturally sensitive manner
•Identify resources to make members as comfortable as possible, addressing
pain and other symptoms
•Help coordinate medical care, benefits and community-based services
•Inform the member about treatment options, continuity of care and advanced
care planning
•Provide personal support
•Consult and coordinate with the members’ treating physicians and staff
(including other care coordinators where available)
119. Results: Member Discussion
Example of Why Compassionate Care
Shows Impact: Depth of Connection
•Wife stated member passed away with hospice. Much emotional support
given to spouse. She talked about what a wonderful life they had together,
their children, all of the people's lives that he touched. They were married 49
years last Thursdayyand each year he would give her a piece of jewelry. On
Tuesday, when she walked into his room, he had a gift and card laying on his
chest, a beautiful ring that he had their daughter purchase. She was happy he
gave it to her on Tuesday--- on Thursday, he was not alert. She stated that
through his business he touched many peoples lives, and they all somehow
knew he was sick, and he has received many flowers, meals, fruit, cake. She
stated her lawn had become overgrow and the landscaper came and cleaned
up the entire property, planted over 50 mums, placed cornstalks and pumpkins
all around. She said she is so grateful for the outpouring of love. Also stated
that hospice was wonderful, as well as everyone at the doctor’s office, and
everyone here at Aetna. She tells all of her friends that "when you are part of
Aetna, you have a lifeline.” Encouraged her to call CM with an issues or
concerns. Closed to case management.
120. Results
Favorable impact aligning patient goals with outcomes
• 82% of engaged decedents choose hospice
• 82% reduction in acute inpatient days
• 77% reduction in emergency room visits
• 86% reduction in intensive care unit days
Improved quality of life for Aetna members and their families
Data for 2010 Medicare Advantage members enrolled in Aetna’s Compassionate
Care program.
Resulting (in Medicare Advantage) in savings of over
$12,500 per engaged member
121. Summary: Metrics Demonstrate Opportunity
• Improving the quality of care for those with advanced illness represents a
tremendous opportunity for the country’s health system, for individual
patients, and for families and caregivers.
• Programs that provide expert assistance such as Aetna Compassionate
Care can increase awareness of the care options available to patients and
caregivers, thereby aligning patient choice more closely with desired types
of health services and care.
• This care management program favorably impacts advanced illness, with
very high rates of satisfaction. Metrics can demonstrate, particularly in
Medicare, dramatic impact on Palliative Care and Hospice election, acute
and intensive care utilization, cost and other metrics.
• These metrics create an imperative that such services become
more widely available.

125. NQF Action Teams
• Build on NQF’s role as an objective convener
• Leverage NQF’s deep membership of 400+
organizations
• Work collaboratively and in partnership to
collectively impact health and healthcare quality
• Promote uptake of existing NQF-endorsed
performance measures
• Influence important
stakeholders to make
meaningful and authentic
commitments to action
127. Measurement Opportunities for Advanced
Illness Care
• Advanced Illness care generally does not follow
patient goals and preferences
• Palliative care can be used more broadly to
alleviate suffering
• Geriatrics finds that some of the most important
care is outside of the traditional organ-system
based clinical specialties.
• Experience from caregivers as well as patients
128. Measurement Challenges for Advanced
Illness Care
• Individual condition-based guidelines often
conflict for patients with multiple chronic
diseases
• Health affected by sociodemographic factors
• Vulnerable populations may have difficulty
accessing consistent source of care
• Coordination of care among multiple
sites/providers

• stories change brains, beliefs and

• stories are survival instruments
• storytelling is a competitive sport
• if you want to change your outcome, start
by changing your narrative
175. If we want to do better, first we have to feel better
Change begins when you give people a new feeling about the issue. In this case, we
want to replace fear of loss and helplessness with a promise of power, purpose and
hope.
Engage the Emotions
178. Stories are survival instruments. After you get the audience emotionally engaged, you have
to give them practical tools to drive change.
Stories are first and foremost survival instruments for a VUCA world. And advanced
care - serious illness, the probable “third act” of life — is possibly the greatest VUCA
of all. It requires that we come to terms with our ultimate mortality, life’s ultimate
unknown, and it sets up a series of obstacles (financial, practical, emotional, physical)
that make it hard for us to perform at the time we most need to.

• build mastery: program builds

181. Build Resilience
Stories are setbacks.
The last act of life is not easy. There will
be suffering. There will be sorrow. And
no matter how powerful your program,
there will be setbacks.
People are often tempted to give up when
they have a bad experience. Much of
what we as leaders can do is to build
resilience in ourselves and our
communities, to help persevere through
the hard times. The growth mindset is
about getting people to recognize the
truth that failure is a necessary stepping
stone on the way to success.
182. 182
Coach the growth mindset:
“We’re all still learning how to
do this.”
Everyone worries about
risk. The best strategy is
to tell the truth.

185. Capital Caring at a Glance
• One of the nation’s oldest and largest non-profit
providers of hospice and palliative care, Capital
Caring cares for over 1,200 families each day.
• Our service area includes The District of
Columbia, Northern Virginia, and Prince George’s
County, Maryland.
• World-class, high quality care is at the heart of
our business strategy.
• Our mission? To simply improve care.
186. A commitment to people
• In order to ‘simply improve care’- and with high-
quality care at the heart of our strategy, Capital
Caring’s key metrics allow us to measure and
demonstrate improving care.
- e.g. Capital Caring is committed to reducing a patient’s pain to a
comfortable level within 48 hours; we achieve this in nearly every case.
• We focus on culture, people development & training
- Capital Caring instituted Standards – clear, impressive, and
sustainable rules for achieving world-class care and results
- We are committed to meeting 100% of our standards, 100%
of the time
187. C a p i t a l C a r i n g : I n n o v a t i o n s
i n C a r e
Capital Caring is committed to innovation.
• In 2014, we opened our state-of-the art Adler Center for Caring on the Van
Metre Campus in Loudoun County, Virginia. This first-of-its-kind in the nation
facility is home to Capital Caring’s Center for Pain and Palliative Care, a 21-
bed world-class inpatient facility, Capital Caring’s home care team and
palliative care. The Center even boasts a spa and gift shop.
• Capital Caring’s Center for Pain and Palliative Care (CPPC) is on the
forefront of innovation. The Center’s ability to perform procedures using
state-of-the-art real-time imaging to alleviate debilitating pain on-site,
complementing or even replacing pharmacotherapy, provides a vast
improvement for patients dealing with pain associated with an advanced
illness.
188. TeleCaring ™
• In 2011, Capital Caring launched TeleCaring™, an innovative
care support program, where trained professionals, including
nurses, place proactive, outbound calls to patients and
caregivers.
• TeleCaring™ is an extension of Capital Caring’s home care
team that empowers caregivers—and provides rapid response
to emerging issues or to answer questions.
“I feel like every one of them is an extension of our family. Sometimes, when we have questions, when the
Telecaring nurse calls, they take 5 minutes, 10 minutes to help me focus and address what matters most. The
calls reassure me, and are a valuable extra layer of care.”-----
Barry, Caregiver
189. Caring in the nation’s capital
-By virtue of being in the nation’s capital, Capital Caring’s mission to
simply improve care includes public education and advocacy to expand
access to person-centered hospice care.
-Since 2006, hospice utilization in D.C. has increased from 2% to over
30% in part because of our Hospice Comes to Washington awareness
event. Our “In Good Faith” initiative has been instrumental in building
trust among faith community leadership, their ‘parishioners’, and
Capital Caring, in order to identify patients/families at risk in order to
increase timely access to palliative care and hospice services.
-Our program is centered on earlier, easier access to care with clearly
defined standards and measurable quality of care as our business
strategy.

and Practices are Central to Improving
Value
207. Mr. B
• An 88 year old man with
dementia admitted via the ED for
management of back pain due
to spinal stenosis and
arthritis.
• Pain is 8/10 on admission, for
which he is taking 5 gm of
acetaminophen/day.
• Admitted 3 times in 2 months for
pain (2x), falls, and altered
mental status due to
constipation.
• His family (83 year old wife) is
overwhelmed.
208. Mr. B
• Mr. B: “Don’t take me to
the hospital! Please!”
• Mrs. B: “He hates being
in the hospital, but what
could I do? The pain was
terrible and I couldn’t
reach the doctor. I
couldn’t even move him
myself, so I called the
ambulance. It was the
only thing I could do.”

209. Before and After
Usual Care
• 4 calls to 911 in a 3
month period, leading
to
• 4 ED visits and
• 3 hospitalizations,
leading to
• Hospital acquired
infection
• Functional decline
• Family distress
Palliative Care
• House calls referral
• Pain management
• 24/7 phone coverage
• Support for caregiver
• Meals on Wheels
• Friendly visitor program
• No 911 calls, ED visits,

218. Surprise! Home and Community Based
Services are High Value
• Improves quality: Staying home is
concordant with people’s goals.
• Reduces spending: Based on 25
State reports, costs of Home and
Community Based LTC Services
less than 1/3rd the cost of Nursing
Home care.
219. Study: Having meals delivered to
home reduces need for nursing
home
10/14/2013 | HealthDay News
A study published today in Health Affairs found if all 48 contiguous states
increased by 1% the number of elderly who got meals delivered to their
homes, it would prevent 1,722 people on Medicaid from needing nursing
home care. The Brown University study found 26 states would save money
because lower Medicaid costs would more than offset the cost of providing
the meals.
220. What is Palliative Care?
• Specialized medical care for people with serious
illness and their families
• Focused on improving quality of life as defined
by patients and families.
• Provided by an interdisciplinary team that works
with patients, families, and other healthcare
professionals to provide an added layer of
support.
• Appropriate at any age, for any diagnosis, at any
stage in a serious illness, and provided together
with disease treatments.

Randomized trial simultaneous standard cancer
care with palliative care co-management from
diagnosis versus control group receiving
standard cancer care only:
– Improved quality of life
– Reduced major depression
– Reduced ‘aggressiveness’ (less chemo < 14d before
death, more likely to get hospice, less likely to be
hospitalized in last month)
– Improved survival (11.6 mos. vs 8.9 mos., p<0.02)

238. Family Caregivers Taking On More
Complex Tasks
• Partnership between the
AARP Public Policy
Institute and the United
Hospital Fund
• Funded by The John A.
Hartford Foundation
239. Almost Half of Family
Caregivers Perform Medical/Nursing
Tasks
241. Caregiver Advise, Record, Enable (CARE)
Act
What does the CARE Act Do?
• Designation
– Record the name of the family caregiver upon admission into the hospital
• Notification
– Contact the family caregiver(s) prior to discharge to another facility or
home
• Consultation
– Hospital consults with caregiver on discharge plan,
taking into account the caregiver’s capabilities and limitations
• Training
– Hospital gives caregiver the opportunity to receive instruction on all after-
care tasks included in the discharge plan to be performed by the caregiver
242. Caregiver Advise, Record, Enable (CARE)
Act
• Gives support to nurses
and other health and
social service
professionals to do what
professional standards of
practice require them to
do
• Stimulates new thinking
on how to anticipate
patient and family
questions and pro-actively
support them
• Reduce hospital re-
243. Caregiver Advise, Record, Enable (CARE)
Act
Passed and signed in…
It has been introduced in sixteen states (CT, HI, IN, KS, MA, MD, MN, MS, NH,
NM, NY, ND, PR, VA, WI, WV).
244. Reimbursement for Educating Family
Caregivers?
• 2010 Invitational meeting with CMS (Centers for Medicare
& Medicaid Services) and other stakeholders
Focus:
– Participants included leaders from nursing and social work
professions, family caregiver advocacy organizations, and
federal government agencies
– The agenda explored policies around caregiver assessment
and reimbursement for caregiver counseling.
– Goal was to provide participants with relevant data on the
use of Medicare reimbursement codes for the counseling of
family caregivers of Medicare recipients.
245. Reimbursement for Educating Family
Caregivers?
• AARP Public Policy Institute worked with
CMS to provide data on use of existing
reimbursement codes.
– Determine the past and current use of the
reimbursement codes,
– What healthcare professionals (Physicians,
Nurse Practitioners, etc.) were using codes
– If usage was low, why?
– What regions of the country were codes used
246. Reimbursement for Educating Family
Caregivers?
• Data run not completed due to
regulations around privacy of Medicare
beneficiary and provider data
247. Medicare Payment for Clinicians
• The following provide payment for clinicians
doing care coordination including family
caregivers
– Chronic Care Management Fee
– Post-Discharge Transitional Care Management
– Home Health Services for Caregivers of
Alzheimer’s Patients
– Patient-Centered Medical Home (Advanced
Primary Care Practices)
– Medicare Community-Based Care Transition

Gail Gibson Hunt
President and CEO
National Alliance for Care Giving
251. About Alliance
Non-profit coalition of over 50 national
organizations focused on family caregiving issues
Established in 1996 to support family caregivers
and the professionals who work with them
NAC Activities:
Conduct research and policy analysis;
Develop national programs;
Strengthen state and local coalitions;
Increase public awareness;
International work and awareness.
252. Demographics of Care Giving
65.7 million caregivers make up 29% of the US
adult population and 31% of households
48.9 million care for only adult recipients,
including people with disabilities
Portrait of Caregiver:
48-year-old woman who works and cares
Average of 20.4 hours of care per week for her mother for an
average of 4.6 years
34% care for two or more people
86% provide care for a relative
254. Caregiver Financial Burden
Caregiving costs U.S. employers between $17.1
and $33.6 billion in lost productivity annually
Over $5,500 out of pocket expenses
Seven in 10 working caregivers make workplace
accommodations
Loss of wages, pension, Social Security:
$324,044—women; $283,716—men
43% of caregivers were affected financially
(AHA/ASA 2005)
255. PCORI End of Life Research
Several studies from PCORI on end-of-life care and
caregiving
Includes cancer and heart failure treatment
Pediatric end-of-life care received grants to examine care
preferences and communication on care
Shared decision making with patients, families and medical
professionals
Impact on caregivers:
• Caregiver burden
• Decision-making (aggressiveness of care, etc.)
• Reduce caregiver conflict/regret
256. Federal Caregiving Legislation
Previously introduced legislation – yet to be introduced in current term
“FAMILY Act” – Family And Medical Insurance Leave Act of 2013, would create
a self-sustaining insurance fund through a payroll tax to provide paid family
and medical leave similar to the California Paid Leave program.
Caregiver Corps Act of 2014 (Sen. Casey-PA) and the National Care Corps Act
(Rep. Grisham-NM), propose to create volunteer corps to help support families
that do not have caregivers to meet long-term care needs
Mental Health Support for Veteran Families and Caregivers Act of 2013 (Sen.
Sanders), would have created educational programs to support caregivers and
vets with mental health disorders through the VA’s vet centers
In Home CARE Act (Sen. Booker-NJ, Rep. Pascrell-NJ), would have provided in-
home caregiver education and training and an assessment with referral to
resources for physical and mental Health for both the caregiver and the care
recipient

277. Better Care, Smarter Spending,
Healthier People
In three words, our vision for improving health delivery is about better,
smarter, healthier.
If we find better ways to deliver care, pay providers, and distribute
information, we can receive better care, spend our dollars more wisely,
and have healthier communities, a healthier economy, and a healthier
country.
We understand that it’s our role and responsibility to lead … and we will.
What we won’t do – and can’t do – is go it alone. Patients, providers,
government, and business all stand to benefit if we get this right, and this
shared purpose calls out for deeper partnership.
So we will continue to work across sectors for the goals we share: better
care, smarter spending, and healthier people.
