SPICT Uses
Screening for Palliative Care Needs:
- We could use SPICT to identify patients with general indicators of poor health and specific clinical signs of life-shortening conditions.
- It would help us recognize patients who may require a palliative care review and discussions about their care priorities.
Advance Care Planning:
- SPICT facilitates conversations about advance care directives, resuscitation plans, and preferred place of care.
- It encourages early discussions about what matters most to patients and their families.
Integration into Routine Practice:
- SPICT can be used to ensure timely identification of patients with unmet palliative care needs.
