MORNINGkeynoteTaking Palliative Care Mainstream: A Glimpse of the Future CHARLES F. VON GUNTEN, MD, PHDVP, Medical Affairs, Hospice and Palliative Medicine OhioHealth Kobacker House; Edi-tor-in-Chief, Journal of Palliative Medicine Dr. von Gunten describes the path that other health care systems will follow by illustrating the path of a typical, Midwestern health care system in response to two facts. First, hospice care has been proven to be the best way to care for people in the last months of life. Second, palliative care has been proven to improve quality and reduce cost for the care of people with advanced illness. This represents success of the efforts of the past 50 years to change mainstream health care. However, success requires us to change, too.

general sessionWhat the Heck Happened in 2017? The New “Normal” and What It Means for Palliative CareJUDY THOMAS, JD, Coalition for Compassionate Care of California2017 was marked by natural disasters, mass shootings and political turmoil. What does that mean for palliative care? How do we take the high level of stress, chaos and trauma that seems to be our “new normal” and turn it into an asset for the palliative care movement? Find out what the Coalition for Compassion-ate Care is working on, has in store, and how you can participate in this great societal change.

Patient Stories: Are We Really “Hearing” What Our Patients Say?Better maternity care, seat belt laws, AIDS care, organ donation…. Every major improve-ment in public health has been advanced by an accompanying social movement. How can we work with patients to create a successful social movement around palliative care? We can start by listening. In these short, MedX style presentations, engaged patients and caregivers will share their personal stories and perspectives on life and serious illness.

AFTERNOONbreakoutsThe Road Ahead in San Diego: Application of the CCCC ModelKARL STEINBERG, MD AND JOHN TASTAD, SCC, San Diego Coalition for Compassion-ate CareIn 2016, CCCC hosted a statewide conven-ing of palliative care leaders and represen-tatives of diverse communities serving the needs of people challenged by serious illness. The goal was to provide an opportunity for participants to discuss progress, gaps and opportunities related to serious illness care in California, and from that discussion develop an agenda for progress toward a shared vision. CCCC has since made a toolkit for The Road Ahead events available to local coalitions. In November 2017, the San Diego Coalition for Compassionate Care hosted The Road Ahead to engage community leaders, identify local progress, gaps and opportuni-ties, and respond to local needs. This session will report on the event, share lessons learned and the final results.

Cultivating Our Capacity for CompassionANN ALLEGRE, MD, FACP, FAAHPM, Spiritual Care ProgrammeCaring for those who are suffering or dying can lead caregivers to feel depleted, a problem which is exacerbated by the stresses of working in the current health care envi-ronment. Empathy, or feeling the suffering of others, is essential to providing compas-sionate patient-centered care, but empathy alone leads to risk of burnout. Compassion is a way of being, a feeling that arises when witnessing the suffering of others and a desire to help. This session will help participants to understand the differences between empathy and compassion, consider the impact of these practices in their work and to learn a compassion practice that they can use in their own lives and work setting.

Starting From Scratch: Engaging Communities Using a Strengths-Based ApproachMARY MATTHIESON AND LISA DEAL, Mission Hospice and Home CareHospices have significant experience around end-of-life issues, yet can find themselves isolated as “just” end-of-life care providers in a community. Using an asset-based approach to community engagement around end-of-life issues delivered first in the UK and published in the BMJ Supportive and Palliative Care Journal, Mission Hospice launched a pilot in two communities to learn how and if we could begin a partnership and participatory approach to wider awareness, education and compassionate community initiatives in our region. This session will engage participants in the background, process and steps used, and share the key themes identified by each as essential to reach a wider community.


Oil Blending for Pain and Symptom Management: The Use of Medical Cannabis in Palliative CareDAVID SINE, MD, Trilliam Kids/Bio-Life; DON ANDERSON, Bio-Life; SEAN HUNT, Bio-Life; LEE THAI, Bio-Life In 2016, Dr. Sine presented a session examin-ing recent clinical data and family testaments regarding the use of various alternative treatments and their increasing potential in pe-diatric palliative care. This session will update the progress made in the last two years on the project which has increased from about 40-50 patients to now over 450 patients – adults and children utilizing medical Cannabis for pain and symptom management. The session will present from the perspectives of physician, nurse practitioner and compound pharmacist.

Holding Onto Hope: Parental Beliefs and Emotions in Pediatric Palliative CareREV. SUSAN A COSIO, Sutter Medical CenterParents of children with advanced, life-threat-ening illness may face excruciating decisions

about their child’s medical care. Thinking about a child’s mortality is something most parents – and many healthcare professionals

– do not feel prepared to do. This workshop will explore the role and impact of parental perceptions, beliefs and emotions in pediatric palliative care, and identify ways that the palliative care team can better understand and respond to parents’ ways of thinking. We will identify the powerful role of hope, belief and expectation, and identify ways to com-municate honestly and effectively with parents, patients and families, while supporting their emotional, spiritual and cultural needs. We will also explore opportunities to maintain and/or transition the hopes of parents and providers throughout the continuum of care.

general sessionIf Only Someone Had Warned Us DANIEL R. HOEFER, MD, Sharp HospiceCareUsing a variety of patient scenarios, Dr. Hoefer will highlight the unintended conse-quences of continuing traditional interventions for pre-terminal geriatric patients. Honing our palliative prognostication skills is necessary if we are to provide interventions that support patient-centered outcomes.

MORNING

AFTERNOON

Taking Psychedelics Seriously: Responding to Persistent SufferingIRA BYOCK, MD, Providence Institute for Human Caring; CHARLES GROB, MD, Har-bor-UCLA Medical CenterSevere psychological and existential suffering robs people of meaningful quality of life and brings some to desire to end their lives. Currently available treatments for depression, anxiety, and spiritual distress often fail to alleviate suffering among people who are seriously ill. Renewed research involving psilocybin, MDMA and similar psychedel-ic compounds suggests that this class of drugs has important therapeutic potential in treatments for persistent, non-physical suffering. Psychedelic properties of specific plants have been used for centuries by indigenous cultures to induce expanded states of consciousness and spiritual experiences. In this session, we will review the pharmacology, clinical trials, and neurobiology of psychedelics, including evidence from functional imaging and discuss the clinical indications, contraindications, and side-effects of these medications as well as

the socio-political, legal and regulatory chal-lenges of prescribing and using psychedelics in carefully monitored ways.

Patients with Disabilities: Avoiding Unconscious Bias When Discussing Goals of Care CLARISSA KRIPKE, MD, UCSF Medical CenterPeople with terminal diagnoses sometimes fear loss of function, dependence on others for help, and loss of autonomy more than they fear death. Also, people with complex disabil-ities, cognitive or communication challenges, or who use personal support are frequently presumed to be terminally ill, or to have a low quality of life. These fears and beliefs can lead to premature withdrawal of life-sustaining care, poor advanced care planning, and unnecessary existential distress. This session will examine the ways in which healthcare providers can recognize and re-frame false narratives about disability and terminal illness to improve the lives of elders, people with

progressive medical conditions, and people with disabilities. It will review best practices for goals of care conversations and discharge planning to ensure that people can continue to participate and live well in their own homes and communities regardless of their functional limitations and support needs.

Bridging the Gap: An Advanced Illness Program to Connect the Community with Health ServicesCYNTHIA CARTER PERRILLIAT, MPA, Alameda County Care Alliance; VALERIA STEINMETZ, Alameda County Care Alliance; JANICE BELL, MN, MPH, PHD, Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing; JILL JOSEPH, MD, PHD, Betty Irene Moore School of NursingThe Alameda County Care Alliance (ACCA) Advanced Illness Care Program™ (AICP) is a faith-based, person-centered program operated through a consortium of 12 churches in Alameda and Contra Costa counties that provides navigation support to persons need-ing advanced illness care and their families/

breakout sessions


PROGRAM: WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 2018

AFTERNOON (CONT.)caregivers to meet spiritual, advanced care planning, health (physical and psychosocial), social and caregiving needs. This session will explore how to reach vulnerable populations with advanced illness care needs beyond the healthcare delivery system through the training and deployment of community care naviga-tors in the faith-based community.

Targeting Strategies to Improve Advance Directives in Major Cancer HospitalsFINLY ZACHARIAH, MD and LINDSAY EMANUAL, City of Hope National Medical CenterThis session will present the efforts at City of Hope National Medical Center to increase completed advance directives through the development of a culturally sensitive ACP campaign; the successful integration of ACP patient navigators; and successful collabora-tive strategies to work with the hematology transplant population. We will share how a series of targeted interventions allowed for the increase of advance directive rates from 29 percent to 70 percent in just two years.

Care Concordance and the Evolution of End-of-Life WishesJENNIFER HOPPING-WINN, LCSW and MELISSA STERN, Kaiser Permanente North-ern CaliforniaHealth systems across the United States are engaging in efforts to elicit, document and honor the care preferences of patients as they near the end of life. However, little is known about how the wishes of patients evolve and whether those wishes are respected. To better understand the issue, Kaiser Permanente conducted a comprehensive review of care concordance between patients’ documented wishes and their final care encounter. In this session, we will share how this method can be replicated in other health systems and implications for any organization using POLST forms. While advance care planning and the POLST form provide invaluable tools for recording patients’ wishes, this study highlights the challenge in tracking patients’ wishes as they evolve over time and the need for ongo-ing conversations about goals of care.

It’s Different with Kids: A Conversation About Ethics and EmotionsMARTA FIEDMAN, LCSW, AHSW, JD and CHRISTY TORKILDSON, UCSF Benioff Chil-dren’s HospitalIn this session, we will look at the challenging situations faced in working with seriously-ill children in light of our own histories, narratives, feelings and judgments which often involve loss, cumulative grief, trauma, family dysfunc-tion and fracture, cultural/spiritual/religious differences, and so much more that we all bring. Working with children often leads to additional loss, grief, and trauma for providers as well as families. One of the hallmarks of palliative care is to gain an understanding of our patients and families, and how they make the difficult decisions we so often ask them to make. The goal of this session is to build upon intermediate and advanced ethical principles, and clinical skills and practice. As a group, we will look at case studies and share strate-gies that can be implemented in the very real situations that we often face.

Who Decides When Adoles-cents and Adults Don’t AgreeILANIT BROOK, MD, LINDA RADBILL, PHD, and MARI RADZIK, MA, PHD, Children’s Hospital of Los AngelesOne of the more difficult scenarios in medicine is navigating a medical plan when the patient and family do not agree. This becomes even more complex when the patient is not of legal age but seemingly has capacity to make medical decisions. We will explore how the palliative care team can help to navigate to a unified, agreed-upon medical plan when there is dissent between an adolescent patient and their family. Using current understanding of both the legal and neuro-developmental aspects of capacity and cases we’ll highlight a potential path to com-promise and discuss tools that are available to support the case that an adolescent may have capacity to make their own decisions.

panelAfter the Act: Lessons Learned and Benefits for the Broader Population after the End of Life Option Act ImplementationModerated by: LAEL DUNCAN, MD, Coalition for Compas-sionate Care of CaliforniaHas implementation of the End of Life Option act moved the dial on how we die? What did we learn from the development of policy and processes for the End of Life Option Act that we can use to better inform the care and conversations we offer everyone with terminal illness? Does the work we’ve done around the Act affect how we think about creating a better end-of-life experience for all patients? Have we learned what it might take to ensure universal patient access to informed deci-sion-making in the last phase of life?

closing sessionTogether We Can Do Any-thing: Leveraging Communities of Care to Spread Palliative CareDIANNE GRAY, Hospice and Healthcare Communications and Elisabeth Kübler-Ross FoundationDianne Gray would like you to think differ-ently about your tribe — those who make up your overall palliative care community. Why? Because as she puts it, “the need for palli-ative care will soon out-pace the resources available. Simply put, we don’t need to ask palliative care teams to work harder. We need to help them work smarter… and one way to do this is through creating enhanced communities of care.” Listen in as Dianne, a former 12-year caregiver who now is a 25-year hospice and palliative care journalist, researcher and global advocate, shares the most up-to-date outside the box resources, research and technology that will help not only patients and family members but you too, as you strive to meet the needs inherent in the provision of quality palliative care. Together we do anything, especially if we expand our scope of vision as to what constitutes our inter-nal and external tribe, as well as our palliative care community.
