symptom burden and key
symptoms and their reported
intensity on a scale of 0 10.
e.g. Pain, Dyspnea, fatigue,
anxiety or depression
• Helps to monitor response to
treatment.
• Goal is symptom score < 4/10
• If > 4 then follow up with
OPQRSTUV

Care plans
• Directed by the prognosis and stage of illness
and the patient/family centered goals of care
translated into concrete, specific plans

medications. Not doing ‘too much’ or ‘too little.

Good Plans: Acknowledge realities
• Assessment of prognosis/Approaching death:
“Hope for the best and plan for the worst”.
• Suffering of patient and family.
 Unavoidable

Existential issues of meaning, multiple losses, functional
decline; Spiritual concerns.
 Avoidable: Iatrogenic
o Lack of pain & symptom management;
o Lack of communication;
o Abandonment

decline
