Our field really lacks specificity in the terms that we use, and I think we really don’t know how chronic cancer pain, let’s say, a few years out from that initial diagnosis differs from, let’s say, chronic low back pain. And Katie, as an advanced practice provider, is much better than I am at explaining how this works.

This office is tasked with providing aging policy research and recommendations within ASPE, including long term care and the National Alzheimer’s Project Act.

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?

And that grew into a group of volunteers coming back and at least providing support groups, giving those men a place where they could talk at least. They didn’t have a mentor, a financial provider, all of those things. He provides spiritual support to the patients, to the staff, and to the peer workers.

And really providing these estimates of how long a person has to live affects a lot of the decisions we have to make clinically. That’s a difficult decision to make, and providing these estimates can help clinicians and patients with that type of shared decision-making. That’s been reported previously.

And is there a middle path to provide some degree of comfort while also hastening the end of life? And we got this as a hospice referral, and could we, you know, take her on and support her in hospice? And then finally you have the moral distress of the providers.

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. So at our cancer center, we have physicians, advanced practice providers.

It was designed to really balance what Medicaid at the time was to provide nursing homes and Medicare is obviously health insurance. The long-term care is being actually provided in the community at a much higher rate than what the formal system provides. But, what you need is a community-based game there. They deal with that.

So this is about two and a half, three years out from leukemia diagnosis. And that really is what prompted me to get certified as a sexual education provider. Eric 17:46 Well, how do you train them, the frontline people seeing these patients, healthcare providers, geriatricians, oncologists? And I said, sure.

And so a lot of it was the facilitators calling out with the approval of the provider to the patients ahead of time to see, like, you have a visit coming up. Ideally the conversation would happen before, but also clinicians were able to make referrals to facilitators. This is what I do here. We were agnostic on the timing.
