Special thanks to Todd Florin, MD, MSCE who contributed to this post – he is also an expert on respiratory and infectious emergencies.

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?

Kate: So it was an embedded alert in the electronic health record and they just clicked those two answers very quickly. Alex: Recently you talked about the other trial, also with a nudge, and that was non-cancer, serious illness. I’m just stunned even writing that! We’ve come so far as a field.

So, I do think that we have, I think of our team as an overlapping venn diagram or anyone not to be able on, the team ought to be able to listen deeply and provide some of this, but then the chaplain does have these special domains.

Today we discuss a new paper in JAMA that tests a stripped down version of the clinician only facing intervention in a pragmatic randomized trial for older adults with serious illness and those 80+. Eric and I also reflect on the podcast Randy generously did with us on his experience living with and studying serious illness.
