Alex and I did a study on over 2000 community dwelling older adults, and we found that over two thirds of people had geriatric conditions, these geriatric syndromes, and palliative care related problems like pain, difficulty climbing stairs. One of my good friends, Jerome Kim, is a community oncologist. Throw it in the trash.”

And which of those experiences would you like to share with us that we could then write into a story that we’ll share with providers? It started here at Madison at one and it’s also spread outside the VA now to hospitals in Boston, Providence and now starting up actually in California and UCLA and UCSF. And then came back.

Most emergency providers wanted to do the right thing for seriously ill patients, but they didnt have the knowledge, skills, or experience to do it. So Tammie developed something called EPIC for Emergency medicine, which is a curriculum that was one of the first ways that I think palliative care got spread in our community.

So at least in my oncology community, I really didn’t have anyone guiding or supporting or mentoring me. The model is predominantly physicians, advanced practice providers. And for the most part, it’s really hard to start building an evidence base in the community setting. And those studies are being done.

Many were community hospitals. At one end of the spectrum you can provide decision makers with information that doesn’t work very well in most contexts. These were EHR documents in the patient’s chart built within the Atrium Health’s electronic health record, where they document other things.

And we were able, because of the way OHSU has the registry and POLST link had just been integrated into our electronic medical records. So you can actually quantify how often it was accessed, at least by either calling the registry or clicking in the electronic record. Scott: Well, are we sure, Abby, that represents progress?

Kate: The problem is we communicate late, we share prognosis late, we elicit goals and values late, so all the time while they’re in the ICU getting prolonged intensive care, we don’t really know that we’re providing goal concordant care, so we wanted to nudge it a little upstream. Eric: Nudge it. Kate: Nudge it.

To provide context, we are joined by Karen Steinhauser, a social scientist at Duke who has been studying spirituality for years (and published one of the most cited papers in palliative care on factors considered important at the end of life , as well as one of my favorite qualitative papers to give to research trainees ). Alex: Yeah.

And we looked at the electronic health records at both of those hospital systems, the MGB network, folks who had fee-for-service Medicare coverage from October 2015 to about September 2017, 6,800 patients. So, where they end up after, what happens to them and where they end up is actually a big deal. Eric: Last question from me.

Alex: We’ve got a lot to talk about…what states are doing and cities are doing to support older adults in the community. It was designed to really balance what Medicaid at the time was to provide nursing homes and Medicare is obviously health insurance. But, what you need is a community-based game there.

So at our cancer center, we have physicians, advanced practice providers. They had access to the cancer center resources, but they didn’t have access to sort of regular contact with palliative care mental health professionals. And the entire community of palliative care said yes, not a palliative care study.

This question, while providing an opportunity to talk about direct and indirect experiences, can be asked of all patients, and opens the door to conversations about anti-semitism, islamophobia, or anti-Black racism.

The reason I chose this song is because I’m currently working on bringing advanced care planning sessions to the Latino community. In our planning sessions, one of the biggest barriers to advanced care planning in this community is just talking about death. What’s in the electronic health record? Eric 22:03 Okay.

What was life for you as a provider pre-pandemic? And I think that it was percolating in a lot of the palliative care community. And so we’re able to provide access to those patients that may be home-bound or home limited or have a lot of struggles to get in. What did we learn during the pandemic? Where we should be going?
