Should eligibility and access be determined by clinician referral? 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? By diagnosis? By prognosis? Can nudges help?

So what do we do about it? Don’t palliative care clinicians already know how to explain things with empathy?

And so I’m not sure if this is true for Joe or for Brooke, but even before the pandemic in our practice here, we saw somewhere around 40 to 50% of our patients via telemedicine anyway, because we have a catchment area of patients who live very far away, many of whom have a lot of physical disability and other limitations to coming in person.
