Since the discovery of penicillin in the 1940s, the experience of illness has been changing. Modern medicine has been very successful fighting disease, other conditions, and aging. In the 21st century, people are living with illness for much longer than ever before. Today, they must deal with many complex issues: How can they get relief from their symptoms? How can they carry on with life as they have known it? How will the illness affect their roles and relationships? What can be done to change the illness experience? How can they restore or maintain their capacity for meaningful and valuable experiences that give quality to their lives? Each of these issues creates expectations, needs, hopes and fears, which must be addressed in order for the ill person to adapt, continue living, and find opportunities for growth. For many years, the approach used in hospice palliative care has helped patients and their families address these issues while they were dying. Now, all the skills and strengths developed in hospice palliative care can be applied throughout the experience of illness and bereavement to help patients and families improve the quality of their lives, increase their ability to participate in therapy to fight their disease and, potentially, prolong their lives. The practice of hospice palliative care is relatively young. In Canada, it began in the 1970s and has evolved rapidly. The term “hospice palliative care” was coined to recognize the convergence of hospice and palliative care into one movement that has the same principles and norms of practice. In a consensus–building process led by the Standards Committee of the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association, providers, organizations and consumers joined to share their experiences and develop a clear vision for hospice palliative care that everyone could use. The resulting model represents more than 10 years of collaboration by individuals, committees, associations and governments across Canada and is

They are based on the National Principles and Norms of Practice for hospice palliative care, developed by hospice palliative care providers, organizations and consumers through a consensus building process led by the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association.

The Need Most Canadians with life-threatening illnesses would prefer to die at home surrounded by family and friends, yet about 75% of deaths in Canada still occur in hospital or long-term facilities.i The gap between Canadians’ preference and current practice in the health care system is due to a number of factors, including lack of awareness of hospice palliative care servicesii available to people in their homes and the wide variation in the type of hospice palliative care services provided by home care organizations in different jurisdictions. The Commitment In 2004, in the 10-Year Plan to Strengthen Health Care, governments recognized the need for hospice palliative care services in the home. In that plan, the federal, provincial and territorial First Ministers made a commitment to “provide first dollar coverage by 2006 for certain home care services … including case management, nursing, palliative-specific pharmaceuticals and personal care at the end of life.” Why a Gold Standard? To support provincial and territorial government efforts to fulfill their commitment, the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association in partnership with the Canadian Home Care Association has defined the “gold standard” for each of the four home care services to be funded by government: case management, nursing, palliative-specific pharmaceuticals and personal care at the end of life. Our goal is to ensure all Canadians have equitable access to high quality end-of-life care at home. To develop the gold standards, the two associations consulted with experts in hospice palliative care, experts in home care, and a wide range of professionals who would be part of hospice palliative care teams, including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, personal care workers, social workers, case managers and home care administrators. Draft standards were reviewed by individuals across Canada with appropriate knowledge and expertise, and revised based on their feedback. The gold standards provi

This document is intended for healthcare teams working with children and their families. It constitutes a point of reference that can be used to establish standards of practice so that children, adolescents and their families receive the special attention they require.
Criteria have been developed for each standard so that they can translate into specific measures and concrete actions. Using these criteria, healthcare teams and institutions can assess their performance, focus on areas in need of improvement and find solutions to problems they have identified. The standards were divided into four areas of focus: 1) child- and family-centered care; 2) interdisciplinary; 3) continuous quality improvement; 4) clinical governance
