Eloise 10:29 Yeah, I think what we saw in California was, prior to legalization, there was curiosity, but also a lot of their healthcare professionals didn’t know enough about it, so they didn’t discuss it with them. For instance, Friday night, Saturday night parties are of community wide. Is that your feeling, too?

Prognosis communication and the subtle ways we may communicate it without intention. Community-based palliative care networks . It’s easier to concentrate on cure, diagnosis, cure. And I believe it needs the community. And the community came in. Social pain and loneliness. What do you think about that?

In general, the case is a patient who wound up with a new diagnosis of metastatic cancer during the course of the admission and at a certain point had full capacity, was able to make decisions and communicate. And then we were involved, palliative care was consulted when the patient was really sick and decompensating in the ICU.

How HHS and ASPE solicit input from clinicians, community leaders, and older adults and how much it impacts policy decisions (spoiler alert: this involvement is CRUCIAL). There’s a team now with them behind them making sure that they stay safe and held in our communities. How to make your voice heard and get involved.

I will say one of the challenges in the field is many hospices don’t know how to take care of children or young people, and so you have these folks in the community who you’re trying to provide services to, and you just can’t connect them to the same types of resources you’re used to using. Who’s your community?

Through a series of events, I started working as a consultant to the Department of Corrections in around 2006, and I was assigned to the California Medical Facility. It’s by choice, just like in the community. Michele: Thank you for having me. Eric: And you’re also the medical director of the hospice unit here.

And then second, I was someone who was a Parrot Head for years and years and it was just amazing how the community came together. That was really the theme song of how the community came together. Eric: When I try to think about what a doula does, should I call it a consult? Alex: That is not around the time of diagnosis.

And so in that context, knowing that there was going to be some evolution of policy in this area, that’s how I got involved consulting with members, trying to understand the situation better, that type of thing. Alex: Self-administer and psychiatric illness is not considered a qualifying diagnosis. Eric: Yeah. Eric: Yeah.

But we know that 30% of all decedents who are Medicare beneficiaries either die from dementia or have an existing diagnosis of dementia, which is something we talk about quite often, Joel and I. Fifty percent have a diagnosis in their record of decedents have dementia. Joel: Yeah. We put a lot on the surgeon here. Yep, for geriatrics?

I see this in the hospital when I’m doing addiction medicine consults. My typical approach with somebody who’s in a methadone clinic, say, a recent cancer diagnosis, and they’re relatively healthy, they can still get to the methadone clinic, although they might not like it, is to. They’re often angry.

Alex 10:53 Yeah, or like palliative care if they get a consult for whatever reason, but not trn consult, like standardized, you know, randomized to palliative care versus whatever they’re doing before. If they get palliative care consult, they get one. Within eight weeks of diagnosis of advanced disease.

Next, we talk with James Deardorff about whether we can accurately predict nursing home level of care in community-dwelling older adults with dementia. Eric 04:39 Yeah, I see it used on inpatient, side on consult clinics in hospices. And since starting the clinic, median time for consult to death was. Alex 10:40 Wow.
