An Interprofessional Approach to Holistic Resident-Centered End-of-Life Care

1.00 CME / 1.00 CMD Management / 1.00 MOC

This session will present the development and evaluation of an EBP practice guideline for an interprofessional approach across four end-of-life care domains: (1) ethnocentric spiritual well-being, (2) mental wellbeing, (3) symptom management, and (4) value-based goals of care. The Iowa Model for the Development of Evidence-Based Practice guided the development of the practice guideline and a two-phase evaluation plan was developed. A PALTC expert panel evaluated six domains of rigor for the clinical practice guideline using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) II instrument to establish face and content validity. (87.2%). The Modified Practitioner Feedback Questionnaire (MPFQ; α = .889) was completed by 22 PALTC professionals with a 92.7% aggregate approval rate.
