International Journal of Academic Health and Medical Research (IJAHMR)   Year: 2021 | Volume: 5 | Issue: 7 | Page No.: 7-13 Strategies to Manage Long-Term Care Facilities during COVID-19 for Improvements in End-of-life Care a Systematic Literature Review Abigail Kern and Dr. Bruce Lazar, MBM, DM Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic had a considerable impact on individuals globally. The purpose of this systematic literature review was to determine what successful strategies healthcare leaders used to manage long-term care facilities during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic to improve patient end-of-life care and outcomes. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, a detailed search transpired using the academic databases MEDLINE and Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL). Data from 20 relevant articles were tantalized using a process of constant comparing of information, and categorizing statements based on answering the research question. Three themes emerged from the analysis, which included strategies, long-term care, and end-of-life care. The results showed that there were successful strategies that healthcare leaders in long-term care facilities implemented. The findings of this study indicated that innovative strategies aided in more positive outcomes with end-of-life care during the COVID-19 global pandemic. The implication of these findings provides healthcare leaders a better opportunity to implement strategies to increase patient outcomes and positive outcomes for families during end-of-life care.
