"This is a pilot project
that will provide clergy in metropolitan Kansas City the tools to engage
members of all faiths in end-of-life discussions. The goal is to create
a national model with national partners who will assist with dissemination
of this important educational program. The project has four phases: (1)
"A Matter of Life and Death" - a one-day conference for clergy
to offer tools to use in providing spiritual support to seriously ill
and dying congregants and to assist them in exploring and understanding
the meaning of death; (2) "Train the Trainer Workshops" - workshops
to assist clergy and adult educators in customizing Action/Reflection
Tool Kits designed to stimulate congregants' discussions about death and
dying; (3) "Compassion Sabbath Weekend" - including sermons
delivered directly congregants and rebroadcast to an others about duties
and obligations to seriously ill and dying people; and (4) the introduction
of a series of educational programs and activities in every participating
faith community in the area. The impact of the project will be assessed
and results will be disseminated nationally."

be used to conduct the final activity of this grant, Compassion Sabbath
Weekend, a weekend of activities devoted to exploring death and dying within
the faith communities of Kansas City." |

Compassionate Options: End-of-Life Care for Nursing Homes Conference, August |
| "Compassionate Options: End-of-Life Care for Nursing Homes Conference, August 2001" |
|
"The Midwest Bioethics
Center, a nationally respected center on ethics in health care decision-making,
held a meeting to convene key stakeholders, including nursing home (NH)
regulators, involved with the provision of high quality end-of-life care
for residents of NHs. The majority of people admitted to NHs will spend
the last days of their lives as residents of the facility. NHs should therefore
be expert on state-of-the-art end-of-life care; but lack of staff training,
inadequate reimbursement and perceived regulatory barriers hinder the quality
of end-of-life care. It is this last problem that is one of the most difficult
to overcome. One of the major goals of the conference was to address the
reasons for the fear of regulation as it applies to end-of-life care in
NHs." |
