But definitely always had the bug to be the one to jump into the family meetings in the ICU, lead them. And palliative care was as a program was just growing at Penn moving from just consult hospice to actually having a team when I was training. And I practiced both on the palliative care consult team and in the ICU.

And so, three years of seeing over and over people having really difficult end of life experiences in the ICU, not being able to advocate for themselves, a lot of trauma for their families, I just thought, we have to do better than this. I was really passionate about helping the people and also their families. David: Yeah. Eric: Okay.

Eric: Well, what are the odds that two family members focus on a similar topic and do research together? laughter] Alex: We love the family theme. So what we found is up to 30% of people would call 911 again for a fall, and of those calls, some people became very high-utilizers and so they would call 911 over and over again.

It did not change the frequency of palliative care consultation, the timing of such, ICU mortality, or six-month mortality. Kate: I think the main one for me being asked on the fly is that one of the nudged specialist palliative care consultation, which we know has limitations. I’m just stunned even writing that!

Kathleen 03:47 I think any of us who’ve spent any time in nursing homes have spent time working in a nursing home setting, have visited, had family members in nursing homes and looked around and seen the population there. So we see a lot of problems with symptom management, a lot of family conflict. That’s a big question.

Within hours of recording this podcast, I joined a family meeting of an older patient who had multiple medical problems including cancer, and a slow but inexorable decline in function, weight, and cognition.

Consider it a supplement to what you remember from Biochemistry and the instructions on the family’s laminated care plan sheet. She did her MD/PhD at Columbia University, where she investigated the diagnostic utility of exome sequencing for kidney disease. So, importantly, you may not have a positive family history.

You did a rural tele-palliative care consultation study. And so the video consult was what became the mode. Marie 03:42 So probably the most important thing is we developed the consultation as a culturally based consultation process. And then we incorporated that information into the consultation process.

Here’s another clinician saying, “I ignored a patient’s tears and gave a speech about cardiac physiology during a family meeting.” I was just thinking back to yesterday, we were in a family meeting. Did they ask for a consult?” That’s scare tactics. Eric: Yeah. Somebody asked the question.

Prior podcasts on the ethics of nudging , and a different trial conducted by Kate and Scott in which the default for hospitalized seriously ill patients was to receive a palliative care consult. We didn’t make them communicate it, but we focused them on it, which makes them more likely to then utilize that information.

We’ve invited two death doulas, Jane Euler and John Loughnane (who is also a family doc and palliative care physician), to talk about the role of a doula at the end of life. John: I am what I am, which is a family practice doctor. Eric: When I try to think about what a doula does, should I call it a consult? That dawned on me.

I think that study was really important, especially I think the message that I give people is you can do something as simple as calling a consultation and improve quality of life months later. And it’s very traumatic obviously for the family and all of that and the team really. So that’s great. It’s a hard outcome.

The technology committee however, is interested in using technology and coming up with a new set of goals, priorities and preferences and basing the process on working with nursing home residents, care partners or family members if they’re involved. And the technology piece, so doing less with staff.

So in those cases, can we adopt an approach to mental health care that centers primarily around quality of life of patients and their families? Eric 12:11 And we consult psychiatry. There’s a Boguts case, a patient with anorexia who utilized medical aid and dying. We do not have a psychiatrist, but we have consultants.

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. If they get palliative care consult, they get one. There was a difference, though, in hospice utilization, right? Jennifer 04:25 I can take that on.

We see our patients and our families throughout the illness trajectory into the hospital. It’s hard for your family to know. So one that the primary outcome was supposed to be documentation, which it improved documentation, it wasn’t powered to actually look at any utilization or hard outcomes. [laughter].

We were the highest utilizers of telemedicine in the whole UCSF health system at that time which we’re very proud of. But in California where I practice medical aid and dying is legal and similar to other issues that are controversial in some places, many physicians do not prescribe or do visits for medical aid and dying consultations.
