Establishing a formalized palliative care program
involves three critical pieces: providing education, using a team approach and
assessing for the five domains of pain (physical, social, familial, psychiatric
and emotional pains). It involves caring for the whole person, not just his or
her physical needs. In this webinar, Sr. M. Peter Lillian Di Maria, O.Carm., who
is director of the Avila Institute of Gerontology, will describe the model of
care being implemented by the facilities sponsored, co-sponsored or served by
the Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm. Too, she will discuss how to
achieve a sustainable Palliative Care program in long-term care including best
practices and overcoming barriers.
