We covered some of our questions on the podcast, others you can ponder on your own or in your journal clubs, including: Maries tele/video palliative care intervention was tailored/refined with the help of a community advisory board. Eric 04:27 Yeah, I gotta ask about the community advisor. So I don’t want my Marin community to.

Many were community hospitals. We didn’t make them communicate it, but we focused them on it, which makes them more likely to then utilize that information. And especially that requires a lot of education. And so as the site based PI that was responsible for education in this space.

He uses comics and other artwork to share his experiences in palliative care and educate others about topics like empathy and communication skills. And then also potentially from an educational standpoint. So this one really hit home for me as a great educational tool. Eric: Do you use this also in more formal education?

We are also joined by LaVera Crawly, a physician turned chaplain, now VP of Spiritual Care at Common Spirit Health (and author of another of my favorite and most cited papers on palliative care in the African American Community ). In addition to that long list, I was also a chaplain educator. Where are my colleagues?”

Eric 17:06 Think like almost 50% of nursing home decedents utilize hospice, and that number has grown over the last two decades. Like, yeah, utilization of hospice has increased pretty well. But some of these things are addressable potentially through education. Some will have stronger relationships with hospice.

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. We utilize the generous donations from our foundation to support the end-of-life doula program. How do you see the light?

None of the changes that we saw in end-of-life care processes relied on specialist palliative care increases or resources, which is really important because seven of the 10 hospitals that participated were rural or community-based, which is where most Americans receive their care, and also where specialist palliative care is often most limited.

Alex: We’ve got a lot to talk about…what states are doing and cities are doing to support older adults in the community. But, what you need is a community-based game there. The long-term care is being actually provided in the community at a much higher rate than what the formal system provides. You go back home.

So, basically, with a stepped care model, the goal is to tailor care delivery to the patient’s needs while at the same time utilizing less clinician resources. And the entire community of palliative care said yes, not a palliative care study. There was a difference, though, in hospice utilization, right? Eric 29:20 Yeah.

But we all know intuitively as clinicians and as people in the community, we see people have these events and then we see them have a much faster decline after that. In the community? But also one of the reasons we want to focus on the community was that actually most people with dementia live in the community.

This model will give participating programs a per-member-per-month payment to offer care management, care coordination, and other services such as caregiver training, disease education, and respite. I had the tenacity and education to try to figure this out. This money allow me to take care of the caregiver, educate them, support them.

We were the highest utilizers of telemedicine in the whole UCSF health system at that time which we’re very proud of. And I think that it was percolating in a lot of the palliative care community. I was getting asked to give talks on how do you do this? I want to be mindful of time. Each of you lightning question.
