In July, alongside Bliss, we launched a new booklet designed for families whose baby’s future is uncertain. This information for parents is complemented by newly-updated professional guidelines in the BAPM Framework for Practice: Recognising uncertainty: an integrated framework for palliative care in perinatal medicine, developed with the Association of Paediatric Palliative Medicine. Together, these parallel resources for parents and health professionals support an integrated approach in this most sensitive and challenging area of healthcare. In this new blog, Alex Mancini-Smith, National Lead Nurse for Neonatal Palliative Care, introduces the resources and explains why embracing a fully holistic model of palliative care has important benefits for babies and families, as well as the healthcare professionals caring for them. https://lnkd.in/eR3JZB2X

In a new I-CARE4OLD EU Project study, researchers from Hebrew SeniorLife examined #risk of #death in a cohort of nursing home residents in the US and Canada, resulting in the development of the DeathRisk-NursingHome scale, an effective #prediction model to identify residents at risk of death within the first 12 months after admission to the nursing home. The new tool is a refinement of the well-established interRAI Global CHESS-scale (Changes in Health, Endstage Disease, Signs and Symptoms) and may be helpful in patient care planning, resource allocation, and excess death monitoring. #riskprediction #olderadults #long-term care
