New Palliative Care Resources for
NHPCO Members
NHPCO's new Core Screening Tools Grab & Go Toolkit and video recording of
IDC session on Core Screening Tools are available online. The toolkit can be
used with your primary care and specialty care partners to help them
proactively identify seriously ill individuals that may benefit from palliative care
or hospice. Special thanks to our partners at PCNOW, home of Fast Facts, for
their collaboration on developing these resources.
Find this new resource and others on the Palliative Care Grab & Go Resource
page online.

New Trauma-Informed Care Resources for Veterans
The majority of WHV partners have participated in and integrated the resources created
out of our Trauma-Informed Care initiative in partnership with the VA. This started as a
pilot project aimed at providing state hospice organizations and state-wide HospiceVeteran
Partnerships an introduction and overview of addressing PTSD, moral injury, and
suicidal ideation at end of life and the support available to Veterans and their loved ones through VA support systems,
including mental health expertise. On November 16, the We
Honor Veterans team hosted a free webinar, " Screening and
Referral of Veterans on Hospice, " with VA subject matter and
mental health experts as well as Mandy Anderson, LMSW,
MSW, Social Worker with Level 5 WHV Partner Heart of
Hospice and member of NHPCO's Trauma-Informed Care
Work Group to provide the community perspective. The goal of
this webinar was for community providers to be able to
incorporate at least two questions to screen for distress
related to PTSD and moral injury into their initial assessment,
assess the severity of distress related to determine the
appropriate levels of intervention, and apply the steps needed
to connect Veterans with significant suffering from PTSD or
moral injury on home hospice to VA telemental health
expertise.
New resources to provide Trauma-Informed Care are available
on the WHV TIC-dedicated webpage. These include recordings
of all webinars, a resource sheet, an updated screening guide,
and training guides to go along with the incredible " Supporting
Military Veterans with PTSD at EOL: Video Illustrations "
created by VA subject matter experts within the Office of
Rural Health. NHPCO's TIC Work Group has many resources as
well including a new 2021 Resources Series, Resources for
Easing Stress and Trauma in Time of COVID-19, and other
Grief-Related Tools which can be found on their resource page.
