It is the CME activity provider’s responsibility to submit participant completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABIM MOC credit. Eric 07:08 Which of the patients that you think you’re helpful for, you want referrals? Like, with a cancer diagnosis, there’s relatively a smooth, smooth prognosis.

Eric 12:05 Any pearls on the diagnosis of HFpEF. If it’s continuing and it’s getting worse and maybe they have some swelling in the legs, there are some subtle findings on the echo, but really think for a second, could this be this really common cardiovascular condition, echocardiogram, maybe even a referral to a cardiologist?

But we know from previous studies that a lot of older adults actually want this information, but might not feel comfortable bringing it up. So yes, it’s imperfect and we recognize that, and we’re always clinically making decisions that are based on imperfect information. Eric: Well, let me push you on that.

If the community hospital isn’t able to provide a service like tertiary care, oncology care, they would get a referral to UCSF or wherever, just like anybody in the community. So we’re designing a program where it won’t matter on what the housing is.

And we got this as a hospice referral, and could we, you know, take her on and support her in hospice? Who do you give informed consent to? Just got the diagnosis based on blood tests of amyloid.

And now when I think about the clinic at Duke, when we’re really running on all cylinders, we can get ourselves up to a five, six, seven week wait for a new palliative care referral. Within eight weeks of diagnosis of advanced disease. I don’t know if we captured where the hospice referral came from. Stupid theory.

I’ve been on a quest to build those services and support so that people can make true, informed decisions for themselves and their families. We’re selling objectivity, information, independence and choice. And that referral can be done in real time, a soft handoff. Eric: Great, thank you both.

It was information about our ACP facilitator. Ideally the conversation would happen before, but also clinicians were able to make referrals to facilitators. So we have to collect what information we have available from Health Information exchange and electronic health records. We were agnostic on the timing.

That this is iterative from diagnosis to end-of-life, right? And that kind of prognostic information can be just as valuable, really, to patients and their families planning as time-based information. Get the hospice referral. You don’t have to make this decision because we have this information right here.”

So this is about two and a half, three years out from leukemia diagnosis. And the point of that is that so many people, in my experience, and I’m sure it’s the same initial diagnosis of cancer, that’s the last thing that I want to talk about. So cancer.net has information on this. And I said, sure.
