About Us

System Level Requirements

The Erie St. Clair EOLCN is an alliance of community agencies, hospitals, long-term care homes, and other stakeholders who are committed to providing leadership for the development and implementation of an integrated system of palliative care service provision. To move from our current sector-specific service provision to an integrated system of palliative care service provision requires:

• a full continuum of care settings and services is in place;
• in each care setting where patients die, there is a clearly defined Palliative Care Program developed;
• sectors and services are linked by common practice, processes, and structures;
• adequate numbers of trained professionals are available;
• system level accountability is clearly defined and communicated;
• funding models, guidelines and policy directions support an integrated system.

These are the foundational pillars of the ESC System Design Framework
