Just-in-case drugs in the dying: home deaths retrospective chart review.
Objectives: To evaluate whether the Isle of Wight (IoW) Just-in-Case (JIC) scheme to supply and administer anticipatory medication to end-of-life patients was performing to an appropriate level of performance.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted on patients who were considered end of life and who died at home on the IoW during 2022.
Results: JIC medication was prescribed to 88% (n=70/80) of patients. Of these patients, half were administered at least four of the five medicines listed on the IoW JIC scheme. Almost three-quarters (71%, n=50/70) of patients had the standard dosage regimens amended to provide individualised treatment, and 96% (n=67/70) of patients saw some alterations to their ongoing management after initialisation of treatment. The time between prescribing and administration of JIC medication was short.
Conclusions: The JIC scheme on the IoW allowed patients to receive timely and individualised care. One or more JIC drugs were administered to a higher proportion of patients than in previous studies; further work is required to establish why (eg, the use of a 24/7 home visiting palliative care nursing team in this locality) and whether this led to improved family confidence that symptoms were effectively controlled.
期刊介绍:
Published quarterly in print and continuously online, BMJ Supportive & Palliative Care aims to connect many disciplines and specialties throughout the world by providing high quality, clinically relevant research, reviews, comment, information and news of international importance.
We hold an inclusive view of supportive and palliative care research and we are able to call on expertise to critique the whole range of methodologies within the subject, including those working in transitional research, clinical trials, epidemiology, behavioural sciences, ethics and health service research. Articles with relevance to clinical practice and clinical service development will be considered for publication.
In an international context, many different categories of clinician and healthcare workers do clinical work associated with palliative medicine, specialist or generalist palliative care, supportive care, psychosocial-oncology and end of life care. We wish to engage many specialties, not only those traditionally associated with supportive and palliative care. We hope to extend the readership to doctors, nurses, other healthcare workers and researchers in medical and surgical specialties, including but not limited to cardiology, gastroenterology, geriatrics, neurology, oncology, paediatrics, primary care, psychiatry, psychology, renal medicine, respiratory medicine.
