Doulas find value by digitizing documentation, distribution, adn alignment of ACP
Background
We are all Living and Leaving. Keri Winchester of Living and Leaving offers compassionate support to clients in end-of-life planning, through conversation, organization, education and action. Keri believes that the last gift we can give those we leave behind is having a plan in place. She sought a tool to help bolster her important work.
Challenge
Paper documents are the norm when it comes to advance care planning, but Living and Leaving wanted to digitize and elevate this traditional approach to the tele-ACP experience.
Approach
Living and Leaving meets with clients at the cafe, in the community center, and via video conference to begin the conversation around end-of-life care. After a relationship is formed, documentation of these important wishes are made within Thanacare so that they become certified, portable, and known to all members of the care team.
Results
Living and Leaving was able to increase the amount of clients with robust advance care planning documented and distributed while building strong alignment among client's family and loved ones.
The Empowered Endings Foundation has a mission is to optimize palliative and end of life care by filling gaps in the healthcare system across the nation—and to ensure that everyone has access to the resources, education, or support they need and deserve due to financial limitations
Objective
Dr. Bob and Elizabeth Uslander sought to expand the reach of the Empowered Endings™ Foundation’s commitment to ensuring everyone has access to the information, support, and community of palliative and end of life care.
Approach
Empowered Endings created the Empowered End of Life Experience™ which features the Empowered Endings™ Planning Platform, powered by Thanacare
This safe and secure platform is designed to document end of life preferences through a customized step-by-step process and empower individuals and families with clear, accessible, and actionable directives. These advance health care directives cover:
Personal values and healthcare wishes – Ensuring decisions align with an individual’s unique priorities.
End of life options – Including MAiD, VSED, and other available care pathways.
Dementia and cognitive decline planning – Addressing future scenarios with clarity and foresight.
After-death care preferences – Documenting wishes for body disposition, memorials, and legacy planning.
Secure video wishes storage – Allowing clients to record personal messages, reinforcing their directives.
Safe and accessible document storage – Information can be securely stored and shared with medical teams, health care agents, and loved ones via QR codes and email, ensuring access anywhere, anytime.
Engage your populations in culturally sensitive, responsive and appropriate documentation related to end-of-life wishes
Families desire to know what their loved one wants at the end of life and sharing and documenting those important wishes is what Thanacare was built for
