These services go beyond treating illnesses; they aim to keep you healthy in the first place. Non-life-threatening illnesses often demand quick relief options. Urgent care clinics are ideal for treating illnesses like the flu, strep throat, or severe colds. It's not quite an emergency, but you need relief fast.

Palliative care, in contrast, saw explosive growth in US hospitals. We talk with Kate about how despite how far we’ve come in palliative care research, we still don’t have answers to some fundamental questions, such as: Who should get specialized palliative care? Should eligibility and access be determined by clinician referral?

Earlier this year palliative care was the correct response to the following clue on the game show Jeopardy: From a Latin word for “to cloak”, it’s the type of care given to seriously ill patients to provide comfort without curing.

Kate: It was done in 10 hospitals, 17 ICUs in Atrium Health down in North Carolina. Asking clinicians to document prognosis did not change the primary outcome of hospital length of stay or really any of the secondary outcomes, which I’ll get into. Also the same hospital system? That’s when they got enrolled.

I asked emergency medicine clinicians what they thought when a patient who is seriously ill and DNR comes to the ED, and some responded, (paraphrasing), what are they doing here?

Walk-in clinics are overbooked, the emergency rooms at the hospitals all have overfull waiting rooms and doctors and nurses are doing 12-hour or longer shifts.
