Continuing Care

Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Disparities
  • Indigenous Health

Background:

  • Palliative and end-of-life care services are significantly lacking for American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations.
  • There is a critical need for improved access to these essential services within AI/AN communities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight existing formal programs that can serve as models for future palliative care initiatives.
  • To emphasize the necessity of culturally relevant and sensitive care delivery for AI/AN individuals facing limited resources and hope.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing formal palliative care programs.
  • Analysis of ongoing formal training initiatives for healthcare providers serving AI/AN populations.
  • Consideration of potential collaborations with organizations like the National Cancer Institute (NCI).

Main Results:

  • Formal palliative care training for Indian Health Service (IHS) providers commenced in 2001 and continues annually.
  • Several formal programs exist that demonstrate potential as models for future service expansion.
  • Collaboration with groups such as the NCI is expected to accelerate progress.

Conclusions:

  • Despite progress, significant challenges remain in providing adequate palliative and end-of-life care to AI/AN people.
  • Future efforts must prioritize culturally relevant and sensitive approaches to meet the unique needs of these communities.
  • Continued development and expansion of palliative care programs are crucial for improving end-of-life experiences.
