  • What You Need to Know About Hospice Medications withPharmacist Ellen Fulp

    What You Need to Know About Hospice Medications withPharmacist Ellen Fulp
    Jul 19 2024
    Pharmacist Ellen Fulp is passionate about using medications appropriately to care for patients who are at their most vulnerable. As a part of the hospice interdisciplinary team, Ellen collaborates with the hospice director and nurse to ensure quality of life is supported, and a patient’s suffering is reduced. Caregivers and patients often misunderstand how medication is used in hospice care. Ellen believes in symptom resolution, keeping the patient’s goals of care in mind. In hospice care, pharmacists do more than just review medications for side effects or adverse effects. They help the clinical team find the best medication options to keep the patient comfortable. That includes finding the right route, the most convenient and safe times for administering the medications, and ensuring the medications are utilized correctly by the patient. When medication diversion (meds being stolen or used by someone else) is a concern, pharmacists coordinate with the hospice team to furnish the meds in a safe, legally compliant way. Pharmacists might not be part of the “core team”, but they’re a vital part of the care of a hospice patient.

  • How to Have the Hard Conversations Before the Hard Things Happen

    How to Have the Hard Conversations Before the Hard Things Happen
    Jul 5 2024
    Hospice nurse Eileen Spillane of Befriending Death has learned to be comfortable with the uncomfortable. Eileen is the Founder of Befriending Death and has been a Registered Nurse for over thirty years, specializing in Oncology, Critical Care, and Obstetrics. She is a certified Life Coach from New Ventures West, a former Zen Hospice Project Volunteer, a Meditation Teacher, and an Active Travel Guide. She has been at the bedside of many as they transition through the dying process and cares very deeply about this topic. On the Befriending Death website, Eileen writes that “if we have conversations about it (death), we might loosen up the fear and anxiety around it. If we prepare and share our wishes, we can give our loved ones the gift of clarity and direction so they feel confident they are following our wishes and have the opportunity to grieve without further unnecessary stress”. Eileen’s courses can benefit everyone, from people with life-changing illnesses to elder law attorneys and caregivers for someone with a chronic illness. The courses include smaller “buddy groups” that create a deeper connection between participants. The Let's Chat About Death course provides an opportunity to investigate what’s important in our lives and make changes that reflect that. Find Befriending Death at befriendingdeath.com.
