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.
