Eric 00:27 So we’re going to be talking about making the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease in a primary care setting, not specialty care, but maybe we could talk a little bit about that. How much should it change how we think about making a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease in primary care? Great to be back. Absolutely.

Often when there’s a cognitive concern, it’s a family member that is calling saying, “I just want to make sure my mom should still be driving after this happened, or after this diagnosis.” Certainly my bias is that healthcare professionals really do have a role in this discussion. Is this our role? Emmy: Yeah.

But in reality, given workforce shortages and just the challenges and the resources necessary to be able to provide early integrated palliative care from the time of diagnosis of advanced cancer, the model simply is not implementable, at least not in our current state with our available infrastructure and resources.

Should eligibility and access be determined by clinician referral? By diagnosis? If we move away from clinician referrals as the means by which people get access, how do we keep the clinicians engaged, and not enraged? Should we just use the referrals, whatever’s coming into us, whoever, whatever clinician decides.

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.

And is there a middle path to provide some degree of comfort while also hastening the end of life?

Yeah, but I mean, in healthcare you need to appreciate the risks, benefits and alternatives of the proposed intervention.

It was designed to really balance what Medicaid at the time was to provide nursing homes and Medicare is obviously health insurance.
