We're glad to support this exciting work brought on by the Canadian Home Care Association in partnership with Health Canada. We encourage you to check out the video below to learn more about the new framework. < cdnhomecare.ca/priorities-ho…>
Developed through a partnership between @cancerstratCA and @GovCanHealth, the Canadian Interdisciplinary Palliative Care Competency Framework sets a national standard for delivering high-quality, person-centred palliative care.
Home care teams are using this framework to strengthen practice and improve outcomes:
✔ Clear, consistent expectations for skills, knowledge, and attitudes support better care delivery
✔ Self-assessment tools help providers reflect, identify gaps, and guide targeted learning
✔ Improvements in care planning, team communication, and early goals-of-care conversations
✔ Shift in understanding palliative care as a focus on quality of life - throughout the illness journey
✔ Increased confidence among personal support workers and nurses to advocate and respond to patient needs
This shared foundation is helping reduce variability and build more equitable, timely, and compassionate home-based palliative care.
