Caveat as well that RCTs should not be placed on pedestal as the only answer- often patients enrolled in RCTs do not represent real world patients – observational studies do. For a trial to have value, it should not exclude patients over age 80, or those with dementia, or patients residing in nursing homes.

And we have Kate Courtright, who’s at University of Pennsylvania, the PAIR Center. We all, when bombarded with information have to take certain elements of a decision and focus on those; and in the ICU, you can imagine, we’re bombarded with information a lot. Kate: These are very sick patients. Kate: Sure.

I asked emergency medicine clinicians what they thought when a patient who is seriously ill and DNR comes to the ED, and some responded, (paraphrasing), what are they doing here? Most emergency providers wanted to do the right thing for seriously ill patients, but they didnt have the knowledge, skills, or experience to do it.

First, in our editorial, we expressed concern about the length of stay metric not being patient centric, though important for health systems focused on cost savings. It is the CME activity provider’s responsibility to submit participant completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABIM MOC credit. Kate: Thank you.

Family physicians and family health workers, considered reliable sources of vaccine information, have a unique position where individuals in rural and urban areas can access frequently, uninterruptedly, cheaply, and easily [2]. A sample was not selected as it was aimed to reach all 323 people working in family health centers in the district.

How to be sensitive to the risks of stereotyping based on recommendations from the few members of the board to the many heterogeneous patients served?

I know you’ve been a strong advocate for nursing home patients particularly in California. Eric: Yeah, I guess in the very beginning of the COVID pandemic really highlighting the structural issues, lack of PPE, really people ignoring it outside of just the place to send COVID patients to. It’s been such a challenge.

These studies are important. Randomized controlled trials of chaplaincy interventions.

Harvey is probably best known for his work in developing dignity therapy, a psychological intervention designed specifically to address many of the psychological, existential, and spiritual challenges that patients and their families face as death approaches. So I identified myself, and was working in our local cancer center.

Whenever I take care of a patient, I see myself as a family practice doctor, but I’ve been a hospitalist, I’ve been a primary care doctor, and I’ve done palliative. But in the end, I see these as my patients and I’m trying to define what is the right model. That dawned on me. That had been my experience.

Give too much, it may cause harm (even if the higher dose had no significant side effects, it would require patients to take a lot of unnecessary additional pills as well as increase the cost.) So, what is the effective dose of palliative care? Give too little – it may not work. Jennifer 04:25 I can take that on. Eric 05:32 Yeah.

And then when you see clinically patients coming into hospital, they’ll have, you know, they’ll be admitted for aspiration pneumonia. There are probably other pneumonias that don’t are treated as patients or patients are in hospice at the time that they develop the pneumonia and they’re not hospitalized.

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. It could be in housing, it could be a standalone senior center, home delivered meals, nutrition counseling and nutrition education done by registered dieticians. And that’s critical.

We see our patients and our families throughout the illness trajectory into the hospital. And maybe we should have more patient-centered conversations. We want to do meaningful work and so we want to know that the conversations we have impact patient care. Eric: Well, how about just with the debate? We see how hard it is.

Don’t get me wrong, the evidence points to cost savings, but as Chris Callahan and Kathleen Unroe pointed out in a JAGS editorial in 2020 “in comprehensive dementia care models, savings may accrue to Medicare, but the expenses accrue to a fluid and unstable network of local service providers, patients, and their families.” Care Ecosystem.

Clinicians could care for patients across state lines, could prescribe opioids without in person visits, could bill at higher rates for telemedicine than previous to the pandemic. Many patients benefited, not only those isolating due to covid, but also patients in rural areas, patients who are homebound, and many others.
