1. Screening Strategies and Tools that Help
This chapter will provide the clinician with a set of tools and screening maneuvers that can aid in determining what is happening at the time of the referral and what should be addressed, immediately, short term, and long term for this person’s well-being. Emphasis will be placed on both standardized tools as well as interactions and observational strategies that optimize accuracy. In this session we will review characteristics for each, and demonstrate examples of how each would appear in a clinical setting.
2. What Do We Do Now? What About the Future?
In this chapter we will briefly address what should and could be done once you sort through the three Ds. Determining who needs to be notified of your findings, in what time frame, with what level of intensity is critical. Equally important, however, is helping the team consider which approach to care should be explored. This section will highlight the importance of addressing complex care situations in a responsible manner to both use resources wisely and, more importantly, allow the person to live as well as possible until life ends, with the right support and care provision.
3. Discussion of the Complex Patient
In this chapter we will revisit the role-play from the first course and discuss in depth the characteristics present of the three Ds. Using the feedback from the therapist and nursing staff, we will model a productive care-plan with immediate, short-term, and long-term goals to address the needs exhibited or known. Finally, we will review the key differences between the three Ds as a way to enrich the individual’s evaluation and value of life.
