10 CQC

11 CQC (2010) End of Life Care Prompts Care Homes: Guidance for Inspectors How should a care home that provides end of life care support the person? CQC questions to consider Do staff have knowledge & skills to identify EoLC needs? A relevant care assessment is in place Systems in place to access relevant members of PHCT Needs assessment reviewing, pain, tissue viability, nutritional needs etc. Are residents and loved ones included in the decision making process? Are residents given the opportunity to discuss PPC? Is there a policy and training for staff with clear records if a DNAR is recorded? Do the staff use a pain chart? Do documents used support end of life planning e.g. LCP? The least possible disruption to the individual and their family and those close to them (see CQC Guidance for inspectors)

12 End of Life Care Quality Markers For Care Homes Action Plan for EOL Mechanisms to discuss and record wishes (ACP) Resident s needs assessed and reviewed Nominate a key worker for each resident at EOL Residents who are dying are entered onto a care pathway Families and carers are involved in decisions at EOL to the extent they wish Other Residents are supported following a death Quality of EOL care is audited and reviewed Process to identify training needs of all workers, common requirements communication skills, assessment and care planning, ACP and symptom management Training needs addressed for those staff initiating ACP Aware and encourage attendance to EOL care training Review all transfers in and out of the care home at EOL
