So my family is from Maui and were impacted by the wildfires, so I really appreciate this. Alex: How is your family doing? My family’s also from Maui. And her dad’s family, the Makekaus family, which is based in Lahaina, and we actually visited their grave sites there, when we were there a few years ago.

So I think as palliative care clinicians, we use narrative as we try to understand more about the persons that we’re caring for and their families. Been in the hospital four times, vented, been told the story to her family, she won’t live. And so I really gain that and I love the chorus words that she uses in this song.

As somebody who works in a nursing home, I can barely read a nursing home note anymore because if it’s on electronic medical record, it’s usually a bunch of check boxes, several pages. Mike: Electronic record keeping, Eric, is the government’s gift to defense attorneys. It’s just these clicks.

This is my early father’s day gift from the family. But at that time I was struck by how in that field, there wasn’t a focus or really interest in symptom management and support for patients and their families. Alex: I’ve got to show you the back of the Jersey. Eric: Yeah. Alex: That’s right. Jennifer: Oh nice.

And so we simply asked clinicians, have you offered this patient and, or their family the option of care focused on comfort? These were EHR documents in the patient’s chart built within the Atrium Health’s electronic health record, where they document other things. And especially that requires a lot of education.

Kate: So it was an embedded alert in the electronic health record and they just clicked those two answers very quickly. Kate: Yeah, some of the thoughts I’ve had in thinking about this: we did not require communication, training and education of the clinicians. Eric: And how did you do that? Eric: Okay.

Corita 09:39 Yeah, so we used the electronic health record, I think, in support. And so we did a similar intervention but using electronic means. And it’s very traumatic obviously for the family and all of that and the team really. Does just communication education, has that been shown to work? What does that mean?

She entertained her family. Thanksgiving’s coming up, you’re having your family, Christmas coming up. You’re going to go traveling to Hawaii with your family, and, you know, you want to die in January.

I wonder if you could suggest an empathetic conversation that I could have with her that would not sugarcoat the idea that she has cancer, but do it in the most supportive possible way, and taking into account that she’s got a family and she’s got young kids?” That’s a risk with electronic health records in general.

And then we started pushing a lot more surveys electronically to patients, which, of course, has its challenges, because not everyone’s as tech savvy as, you know, our highly educated patients who have access to technology.

And so this is our way of supporting non English speaking families in advanced care planning. And I have a long interest in identifying family caregivers and supporting them in care delivery. And so this was really, in my view, a perfect window for reinforcing the role of family in primary care. Eric 02:32 Great, Alex.
