eiCOMPASS

Building emotionally intuitive competency-based palliative care skills

Developing the knowledge, attitudes and skills needed to provide high quality home-based palliative care. The eiCOMPASS project is bringing together a network of home care providers, and partners across the country to develop health care providers’ skills to deliver emotionally intuitive, competency-based palliative care in the home setting. Over the next 3 years we will:

Build awareness of the Canadian Interdisciplinary Palliative Care Competency Framework with home care organizations across the country.
Develop Emotional Intelligence (EI) training and tools to reinforce the competencies and help home care providers apply their skills to deliver emotionally intuitive palliative care.
Facilitate the adoption of the Canadian Interdisciplinary Palliative Care Competency Framework through a SPRINT™ Implementation Collaborative.

“At Pallium Canada, we believe it is essential to equip health care professionals with the skills and knowledge to provide earlier, more effective and more compassionate palliative care. The Competency Framework is informing our continuous learning programming and content. As part of the Palliative Care ECHO Project, the Learning Journey App will make these competencies even more applicable by allowing busy health care workers to create a personalized learning plan to equip them with the skills and knowledge to provide better palliative care to more Canadians.”

Canadian Interdisciplinary Palliative Care Competency Framework

A curriculum guide for educators and reference manual for people providing palliative care

The Canadian Partnership Against Cancer and Health Canada, working with an extensive network of palliative care experts and stakeholders, have developed the Canadian Interdisciplinary Palliative Care Competency Framework. This document establishes a minimum national standard for palliative care in Canada, and it seeks to direct consistent implementation and measurement of palliative care competencies in practice. It serves as a guiding document for jurisdictions that lack an explicit set of palliative care competencies, and also as high-level guidance for provinces that have built their own competency frameworks.
