call for research papers
how to apply:
the law commission of ontario (lco) is undertaking a project that reviews ontario’s law and policy framework for providing care to persons who are approaching death and services for those who support them, including caregivers, family members, friends and health care providers. as part of the development of the discussion paper, the lco will fund a number of research papers that will inform our development of options for reform.
we have identified ten potential research paper topics, described below. we will also consider proposals on other topics that would make a demonstrable contribution to our understanding of the issues identified in the description of the project on our website and that would benefit from external, expert knowledge that the lco might not be able gain otherwise through internal research and consultations.
we encourage proposals that take into account how the issues under consideration may be affected by various aspects of diversity, including age, culture, faith, language, literacy, place of residence (both geographical and by type of care setting), economic status, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, aboriginal identity and disability, among others.
the research paper topics the lco has identified are:
- integrating religious and cultural supports into quality care in the last stages of life: theoretical foundations and practicable models for ontario’s health care system.
- a rights-based perspective on the delivery of medical aid in dying in ontario care settings.
- balancing the interests of patients, substitute decision-makers, family and health care providers in decision-making over the withholding and withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment.
- policies and procedures to facilitate alternative dispute resolution for end-of-life decision-making, including preventative approaches.
- understanding the lived experience of individuals, caregivers and family members with ontario’s system for care in the last stages of life and possibilities for enhanced advocacy supports.
- managing transitions within and between care settings for individuals, caregivers, family members and health care providers.
- challenges and opportunities associated with integrating a palliative approach into services and supports for frail older adults, and persons with complex chronic and degenerative conditions from the early stages.
- informed consent, advance care planning and substitute decision-making: using practice tools to ensure meaningful decision-making in the last stages of life.
- challenges for personal support workers in delivering quality care in the last stages of life: understanding their roles, education, training and employment.
- addressing law and policy barriers to the provision of appropriate medications for persons living in the community.
- other paper topics requiring expert research that would make a demonstrable contribution to the lco’s project.
research proposals must be submitted to the lco by midnight on january 22, 2016.
questions about proposals must be addressed to the project head, sarah mason-case, in accordance with the terms set out in the call for research papers.
