This undoubtedly enforces the public’s belief in the possibilities of medical science to cure many diseases.

This is, for example, also reflected in many television series around the world where doctors are depicted as heroes saving patients from virtually every life-threatening illness. Fortunately, in contrast to a century ago, we now live in an era where medical science has contributed much to treatment options and has improved the prognosis of many diseases greatly. The training sessions consist of reflection on the caregivers’ personal choices with regard to end-of-life care (research has shown that caregivers choose less intensive medical treatments at the end of life) and of practising with the known complicating factors of timing, reserve and hope, and the different ways of thinking and talking about death and dying (typology of death and dying).Īs medical professionals, to help and cure our patients is our greatest passion. For caregivers, information was provided ( via symposia and an app) and specifically designed training sessions were developed. Meetings were organised for patients and informal caregivers to foster awareness and to provide information. In the second phase of the project, several approaches were developed to help caregivers, patients and informal caregivers with the planning and execution of conversations aboutĮnd-of-life care. This yielded as the most important causes of the delay of these conversations: the factors of timing (when is the right moment?), reserve (because of the potential emotional despair of the patient) and hope (who am I to rob a patient of their hope?). The first phase of the project consisted of research: a study of the relevant literature on previous projects on the matter and a small empirical study in the Eindhoven region.

The project aimed to prevent unnecessary admissions and treatments for these frail patients by stimulating physicians, patients and informal caregivers to start conversations about end-of-life care together at an earlier stage. Just like others in the country, the Eindhoven group noticed that regularly, very frail elderly people were admitted to hospital in acute situations without there ever having been conversations about their wishes concerning treatment options at the end of life. The phrase in a timely fashion is synonymous with promptly.In 2014, a group of physicians of the Catharina Hospital in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) started a project called “Talking about end-of-life care in a timely manner”. The National Cancer Institute has concluded that some of its lymphoma researchers failed to notify the Food and Drug Administration in a timely fashion about fungal infections that resulted in two deaths of patients in one of its research studies.This excerpt is from an article about deaths that should have been preventable.

Astacio wasn’t able to complete the test in a timely fashion because she was in Thailand. Then in May, the judge overseeing her probation ordered a random alcohol test after a high reading on the interlock device.This excerpt is from an article about a judge who is still getting paid a high salary despite not working.
