SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON AGING
"THE END OF LIFE: IMPROVING CARE, EASING PAIN AND HELPING FAMILIES"
JULY 17, 2000
http://aging.senate.gov/events/hr54sc.htm "...Currently, in order for a Medicare beneficiary to qualify for the hospice benefit, a physician must document that the person has a life expectancy of six months or less. With some conditions -- like congestive heart failure -- it is difficult to project life expectancy with any certainty. However, these patients still need hospice-like services, including advance planning, support services, symptom management, and other services that are not currently available.
In this regard, I introduced an amendment to the Patients' Bill of Rights, which was approved by the Senate, to require a comprehensive study into the appropriate thresholds, costs and quality implications of moving away from the current narrow definition in Medicare of who is terminally ill and toward a definition that better identifies those with "serious and complex" illnesses. This study was suggested by the group Americans for Better Care of the Dying, and is intended to help us shift the paradigm in this country of how we view serious illness. This study will help us to provide better care for that broader category of patients who are terminally ill and have a need for more coordinated care, but who will probably live for another year or two....."
"Clearly, there is more that we can do to relieve suffering, respect personal choice and dignity, and provide opportunities for people to find meaning and comfort at life's conclusion."
"Meaning and comfort". Imagine that.
