From you guys who are, you know, in it. What you think would make the biggest difference. What you think would be most helpful. Since you asked it, why dont you i feel it is very taboo to speak about it in the native american communities, especially the older adults might think that it is. But i think the youth are really ready to speak about it. I feel there should be a little bit more support in the school system. Some of the schools ive actually got to work with on the reservation, they dont really have afterschool programs. They are like really strict on education, but there is really nothing that can connect you to your culture after school or keep to your traditions after school. I feel some of these are very important to youth. And there might be some kind of cultural identity or identity loss. Some of them might be confused and feel like theres no help. So the only situation the only like logical explanation they might think is maybe suicide. And for me i want to, i guess, prev
Part of what the goal for this work was to bring people who have such expertise in this area with people like myself who actually touched the lives of many people in our world and i just say in home support alone we have 22000 people and we have Palliative Care recipients. I had to figure out as much as i could and how to include the services. Before you talk about alzheimers and dimension Strategic Plan and the coordinating council, this is a part of that work as well. We learned about an area we needed to learn about and new very little about and it was also an opportunity for people in the medical world to understand the work that goes on in the community outside of the hospital setting and pull people together so they can partner in the future, not just on implementing the recommendations that are in the report, but partnering together on a daily basis. So, a lot i think was learned from this work. There were obviously some goals we had when we started out and i understood over tim
People. So there is some pride having being a part of it and the hours i gave to the commission here or i should say the workgroup is actually vindicated by the fact that so much came out. Another was how can we sustain this, not just coming together. Remember the longterm care council appeared before us and this is a Perfect Place for them to then assist in moving that agenda, i think outside services is a very good example and something that will occur and bringing this to the table with all the of these recommendations this goes to the resolution that working with staff we have before you for your consideration. The four terms because the back end of the pages didnt get printed and some of the versions. I have placed before you the resolution which says that we not only commend our task force but i wanted to go on to the more important aspects in terms of its fine implementation that we support the advancement of Palliative Care practices that serve individuals in the least restrict
Everybody has their preferences about their treatment well understood to make sure we are respecting their wishes and preferences. Shortterm are those individuals who had a high illness burdens, from the treatment of conditions and illness. That focus is to gather data around gaps and needs for that population. Then our second deliverable, well, our second deliverable you heard about around the inventory of Palliative Care resources within our community. This is really an amazing experience to be a part of where all the Community Agencies and resources are part of this task force along with what they knew were able to communicate with Palliative Services they were providing and finally coming up with an extra set of recommendations around those quality areas around Community Engagement. Im going through this quickly because i want to respect your time. With respect to quality, we wanted to emphasize to measure quality of care, Palliative Care in different settings. Particularly for hos
You that Palliative Care is not an area of expertise for me. I have had experience with this kind of work but never really under taken to understand what it meant professionally. So i had a lot of learning to do and thank goodness i was surrounded by people with dr. Chow and dr. Christine ritchie and who really understand this subject because professionally is what they do day in and day out.
