Eric: But before we jump into talking to your patients about driving retirement cessation, let’s talk about what is the role of the healthcare professional in this at all? Certainly my bias is that healthcare professionals really do have a role in this discussion. And what should we be doing as far as assessment?

The obstacles hindering referrals to palliative care services.

So I will say that it’s challenging, because we don’t have, unlike City of Hope, we don’t have a big team like they do of geriatricians and palliative care physicians, who can screen these older adults or help with management. Mazie, I know it changes locale to locale, because your referral sources are going to be different.

If it’s continuing and it’s getting worse and maybe they have some swelling in the legs, there are some subtle findings on the echo, but really think for a second, could this be this really common cardiovascular condition, echocardiogram, maybe even a referral to a cardiologist?

So I get all the referrals from my great colleagues in primary care. And I gotta manage their blood pressure and their diabetes meds. We save healthcare.

And it’s a bit of a hokey title, but what I try and impress on readers there is that, the reflection that patients see of themselves, at least metaphorically in the eye of the healthcare provider, needs to be one that is affirming of patient dignity. I mean, we all give lip services saying, “Person-centered care is important.”

Caroline: And I love how you highlight the importance of these staff biases, perhaps implicit bias that is driving some of these healthcare decisions. It improves symptom management.

And we got this as a hospice referral, and could we, you know, take her on and support her in hospice? And we’ll say that we will link to an article that Hope and Thaddeus and others, I think Tim Quill was on there, wrote in journal, Pain and symptom Management, I think it was. Is that right, Hope?

And now when I think about the clinic at Duke, when we’re really running on all cylinders, we can get ourselves up to a five, six, seven week wait for a new palliative care referral. It’s not just about physical symptom management. I don’t know if we captured where the hospice referral came from. Stupid theory.

But most people with dementia are initially diagnosed and medically managed in primary care, and they really desire clinicians to initiate these conversations but there are a number of really important barriers for these conversations taking place. So ultimately, you know, we had to get buy in at. Is that right?

And I’m worried about all of us as healthcare workers, but particularly… And when I say particularly those in the hospital, because they are just tired. If they had a healthcare agent, then this would be better, right? Get the hospice referral. Because then we would know what they wanted when this hard stuff came.

And the thought of a huge number of our patients who had really come to rely on being able to do their visits from home or from a place that was close to home and getting medications that they’ve really come to rely on for symptom management was just really kind of terrifying for us and for them. It may have come to a care manager.
