1 PREAMBLE On January 20 th the Clinical Council of the Hospice Palliative Care Provincial Steering Committee presented and articulated the Essential Minimum Clinical Standards for Hospice Palliative Care in Ontario (see attached). The are: a suite of 12 interconnected clinical standards. based on documents that represent broad stakeholder engagement as well as consensus and recommendations from experts in palliative care. built on best and most current evidence in palliative care the critical actions and next steps articulated in the PCS will build upon the important work already happening throughout the province. The PCS are considered a starting point for standardization of clinical direction in the province, while enabling regional customization and contextualization. They detail interconnected priority areas that need to be addressed in order to improve palliative care in Ontario. The Clinical Council is an inter-professional council comprised of 11 Palliative Care clinicians with diverse and relevant palliative care skills sets who applied for Clinical Council positions which were selected by the Hospice Palliative Care Provincial Steering Committee. The Clinical Council was tasked with creating clinical standards related to palliative care in Ontario and did so using an evidence based approach to articulate the most important areas requiring minimum clinical standards. This process began by developing a consensus driven Clinical Change Strategy outlining an approach and highlighting key directional documents that were used as evidence to determine the most important clinical areas. Each directional document represents consensus recommendations from experts in palliative care and collation of evidence, and best practice. The process of developing the built upon the best and most current evidence in palliative care. Similarly, the PCS document outlines critical actions and next steps that will build upon many components of excellent work that already exists within the province. The attached document contains the 12 PCS outlining the critical actions, next steps and directional document for each standard. The attachment also contains graphics that outline the interdependencies of the PCS and maps the PCS to the hospice palliative care model outlined in the Declaration of Partnership. At this time the Hospice Palliative Care Provincial Steering Committee is circulating the Provincial Clinical Standards to our partners with the intent of: 1. Seeking input from our partners, specifically with respect to overall direction of the PCS. 2. Fostering discussion. The PCS documents can now be used as regional and organizational tools to assess readiness to move forward with implementing pan-ontario palliative care standards. Please share this document with your palliative care providers, and other relevant stakeholders. Feedback related to the PCS can be forwarded to Deanna Bryant, Project Lead, at Deanna.Bryant@cancercare.on.ca or ext

Recommendation 3 RHWG OHTAC 9
10 PCS 12: A standardized population based approach and comprehensive plan for regionally appropriate settings of care will be utilized. This includes appropriate resources for home deaths and resources for an appropriate mix of residential hospice and tertiary palliative care beds. Home care resources and funding are organized to follow the patient across settings of care.

Regional Programs leverage patient centered Community Hubs that inform, educate and support informal caregivers and create clinical communities of practice for health service providers Regional programs support realignment of home and community care resources and funding for patients receiving palliative care Development of funding models to Provincial - performance indicators for PCUs are fine tuned to better represent both the patient populations on these units and the role of the PCU Provincial - residential hospices are 80% funded Regional - gaps in existing acute PCUs and residential hospices that prevent meeting provincial standards are addressed as part of regional program work plans Develop a policy that will ensure the implementation of the Expected Death in the Home (EDITH) protocol across Ontario. This will facilitate death with dignity and prevent the performance of CPR on persons receiving palliative care who are expected to die. A sustainable system requires the right mix of resources across care settings to meet patient needs Recommendations 1, 3, 5 RHWG 10
11 follow the patient to provide equal access to service whether at home or in an institution.
