Funded Activity Summary

There has been little Australian research to develop interventions that facilitate end of life decision making. This project will provide a framework for understanding the issues in the planning of end of life care for people with chronic and life limiting illness and the relationship of this planning to organizational policy. The care decisions in hospital records of people with advanced lung and heart disease will be reviewed and people with those diseases interviewed about the issues they experience in planning their future care. Professionals from a range of health organisations will be interviewed about their experiences of care planning for people with life limiting lung and heart disease. As a pilot, this project will be used to contribute to the development of a model for a coordinated multidisciplinary process that brings together the health care services in a region and contributes to the systematic, ongoing development of infrastructure to improve end of life care.
