End-of-Life (EOL) care is an essential arena of competence for all health care providers. As research in this area has grown over the years, professionals such as physicians, nurses, social workers and other allied health care professionals can gain competence and confidence in understanding and managing dying patients and their families. While many professional and research organizations have made significant progress in addressing this problem through the development of standards and principles of practice, including EOL educational content and curricula in licensing requirements, educational curricula and on-the-job training, there is still much you must do to stay current in EOL care.
In order to maintain and improve your competence and ability to provide quality of care, it is essential to stay up-to-date in this rapidly changing field. Today, we are faced with such EOL ethical decisions as advanced directives, living wills, do not resuscitate orders, medical powers of attorney, voluntary euthanasia—and all of these potential ethical decisions vary from state to state and culture to culture. Because of their sheer numbers, aging baby boomers already started to change EOL care, first for their parents and now starting for themselves.
Not only will this course introduce you to the Core Principles of End-of-Life Care, which have been endorsed by a substantial group of medical and professional organizations throughout the past two decades, but these principles also have relevance to all allied health providers. You will be provided with pertinent information and self-development exercises to better prepare you to practice according to these established principles but also to the latest research and knowledge about EOL care.
Learners will gain awareness, confidence and skill in coping with End-of-Life (EOL) issues that will serve them as they provide daily care for patients.
