caring@home has released the Prompts for End-of-Life Planning (PELP) Framework, formerly known as the Palliative and End-of-Life Care Framework – Last 12 Months of Life.
The PELP Framework guides proactive, high-quality end-of-life care across all care settings to assist health professionals in delivering person-centred care during the last 12 months of life.
The framework includes prompts which can support:
- identification of patients suitable for a palliative approach to care
- identification of four clinical end-of-life processes:
- advance care planning and person-centred care based on need (at risk of dying)
- transition focus of care needs from restorative to palliative (likely to die soon)
- terminal care needs (dying)
- after-death care (bereavement)
The PELP Framework was developed by caring@home, a National Palliative Care Project funded by the Australian Government, in collaboration with a National Advisory Committee which included GPs, palliative medicine specialists, nurse practitioners and nurses.
