Joe 03:55 You know, my thoughts are screening is important for a variety of reasons, and certainly Doctor Boris and Soo and Anna, Doctor chodos can provide a lot greater clinical insight than I. There has to be effective support provided behind any type of screening strategy in order for it to truly be effective. Joe, your thoughts?

So I make the point, they often say, “Oh, you have this special population,” like pediatrics, where it’s 10% or something. And because, it’s a little kid in a candy store, so many different choices for quote, unquote, “community oncologists,” and perhaps even for academic oncologists. John: Right.

Alex: And we are also delighted to welcome Areej El-Jawahri, who is an oncologist at Massachusetts General Hospital as well, who specializes in blood cancers. So I really opted to specialize in lung cancer because I thought that was the appropriate population to build a supportive and palliative care research agenda. Jennifer: Thanks.

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. primary palliative care interventions seem to fail, whereas specialized palliative care interventions have a relatively robust track record of success. Why do so many (most, all??)

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.

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. I had fun trying to make a danceable version with electronic drums for the audio-only podcast.

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?
