Patients who meet the following criteria are suitable for the AMBER care bundle: 1. The patient is deteriorating, clinically unstable, and with limited reversibility; AND 2. The patient is at risk of dying during this episode of care despite treatment.
The AMBER care bundle is used for patients who are unstable and may be approaching the end of their life. It helps the doctors and nurses recognise when patients may not respond as well as they hoped to medical treatment. Therefore their recovery may be uncertain and their condition may deteriorate further.
Amber, the third stage in our Senior Gems scale, represents mid-stage to late dementia. An Amber was chosen because it's the least stable and sturdy. Using driving as an example, during the stop light sequence yellow means “slow down.” We must slow down when speaking to an Amber and when doing activities.
The AMBER care bundle aims to improve the quality of care for people whose recovery is uncertain and who may be approaching the end of their life. The AMBER care bundle means that we can: respond quickly to changes in your condition by monitoring you more regularly.
Amber drugs are those suitable for shared care arrangements. Prescribing and monitoring responsibilities may be transferred from specialist teams to primary care prescribers in line with a shared care protocol.

End-of-life care includes physical, emotional, social, and spiritual support for patients and their families. The goal of end-of-life care is to control pain and other symptoms so the patient can be as comfortable as possible. End-of-life care may include palliative care, supportive care, and hospice care.
Palliative care can be helpful at any stage of illness and is best provided soon after a person is diagnosed. In addition to improving quality of life and helping with symptoms, palliative care can help patients understand their choices for medical treatment.

Is palliative care the same as end of life care? No. Although it can include end of life care, palliative care is much broader and can last for longer. Having palliative care doesn't necessarily mean that you're likely to die soon – some people have palliative care for years.
The end-of-life period—when body systems shut down and death is imminent—typically lasts from a matter of days to a couple of weeks. Some patients die gently and tranquilly, while others seem to fight the inevitable. Reassuring your loved one it is okay to die can help both of you through this process.
Generally speaking, people who are dying need care in four areas: physical comfort, mental and emotional needs, spiritual needs, and practical tasks. Of course, the family of the dying person needs support as well, with practical tasks and emotional distress.

Other states and communities soon set up their own AMBER plans as the idea was adopted across the nation.
