Palliative Care Quality Improvement Initiatives
Cancer Council WA (CCWA) will showcase some of the most recent palliative care quality improvement initiative projects that have been delivered in WA this year by specialist palliative care providers.
The projects that will be discussed are;
- Improving palliative care meetings (case conferencing) in residential care facilities in Perth
- Simulation based, senior clinician-led education in goals of patient care discussions in Royal Perth Hospital
- Improving end of life care for our older adults in rural and remote WA
These initiatives were funded through the McLarty Bequest at the Cancer Council WA. CCWA offered specialist palliative care service providers an opportunity to develop and implement a quality improvement initiative within their workplace.
