End of Life Option

American Clinicians Academy on Medical Aid in Dying

Best Practices Checklist for Complying with CA SB380,

California’s End of Life Option Act

 

General Principles:

Providing patients with information about aid in dying:

Our hospice facilitates discussions and participates in the processes of medical aid in dying (see below for details if we participate in some aspects of the process but not others).

Hospice doctors’ participation in aid in dying:

Our hospice provides aid-in-dying attending/prescribing physicians.

Our hospice provides aid-in-dying consulting/2nd-opinion physicians. 

Hospice staff participation on the aid-in-dying day:

If requested by the patient, our clinical staff (doctors, nurses, social workers, chaplains) can be present on the day of ingestion of aid-in-dying medications (dependent on availability and scheduling).

At the patient’s request, we provide referrals to other professionals who can be present on the aid-in-dying day (private-duty nurses, aid-in-dying trained end-of-life doulas, trained aid-in-dying volunteers). Referrals to aid-in-dying skilled professionals can also be obtained from the American Clinicians Academy on Medical Aid in Dying, at https://www.acamaid.org/pt2attendantintake/
