Abstract:

AbstractThe palliative care needs of inpatients with neurologic illness are varied, depending on diagnosis, acuity of illness, available treatment options, prognosis, and goals of care. Inpatient neurologists ought to be proficient at providing primary palliative care and effective at determining when palliative care consultants are needed. In the acute setting, palliative care should be integrated with lifesaving treatments using a framework of determining goals of care, thoughtfully prognosticating, and engaging in shared decision-making. This framework remains important when aggressive trea

Abstract:

e20674 Background: In August 2011, a new rounding model was instituted on the inpatient solid tumor oncology service at Duke. This model incorporated a palliative care physician as a second attending on service, alongside the rounding solid tumor oncologist. We sought to assess the oncologists’ perceptions of this model, and of palliative care, 1 year later. Methods: We developed a 15-item survey assessing 3 domains: (1) perceptions about palliative care in general, (2) lessons learned from palliative care colleagues, if any, and (3) changes in the experience of rounding on the solid tumor onc

Abstract:

Background: Palliative care is associated with better outcomes in advanced cancer, but there is limited research comparing different models of palliative care delivery alongside oncology care. For inpatients with cancer, palliative care is mostly delivered through a consult service, primarily relying on oncologist-initiated referrals to a separate specialist palliative care team. In our hospital setting, we piloted a palliative care and oncology corounding model of care. Aim: To explore the views and experience of oncology and palliative care professionals on the corounding model compared to a

Abstract:

Background: Previous research mostly analyzed the utilization of palliative care for patients with cancer, and data regarding non-cancer inpatients are limited. Objectives: This research aimed to investigate the current situation regarding palliative care and the important factors that influence its utilization by inpatients (including inpatients with and without cancer) at the end of their lives. We also explored the feasibility of establishing a prediction model of palliative care utilization for inpatients at the end of their lives. These findings will allow medical staff to monitor and foc

Abstract:

Background: The majority of expected deaths in high income countries occur in hospital where optimal palliative care cannot be assured. In addition, a large number of patients with palliative care needs receive inpatient care in their last year of life. International research has identified domains of inpatient care that patients and carers perceive to be important, but concrete examples of how these might be operationalised are scarce, and few studies conducted in the southern hemisphere. Aim: To seek the perspectives of Australian patients living with palliative care needs about their recent

Abstract:

Background: The Responding to Urgency of Need in Palliative Care (RUN-PC) Triage Tool is a novel, evidence-based tool by which specialist palliative care services can manage waiting lists and workflow by prioritising access to care for those patients with the most pressing needs in an equitable, efficient and transparent manner. Aim: This study aimed to establish the intra- and inter-rater reliability, and convergent validity of the RUN-PC Triage Tool and generate recommended response times.

Abstract:

Inpatient palliative care consultation has been demonstrated to improve quality of life as well as decrease hospital readmissions, intensive care unit transfers, and hospital costs for people with a life limiting illness. The clinical teaching units (CTUs) at London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) routinely admit patients with noncurable cancer as well as end-stage heart, lung, liver, or kidney disease. However, the use of inpatient palliative care consultations for CTU patients remains unexamined. We conducted a descriptive study of all patients referred from LHSC CTU from both University and V

Background: Prognostication of survival in patients with advanced cancer has been challenging and contributes to poor illness understanding. Prognostic disagreement occurs even among providers and is a less studied phenomenon. Objective: We introduced the surprise question (SQ), “Would I be surprised if this patient died in the next 1 year, 6 months, and 1 month?,” at multidisciplinary rounds to increase palliative care referrals through the introduction of this prognostic prompt.

Abstract:

Cancer patients face many challenges that can have a significant impact on their quality of life (QOL). When patients experience multiple functional impairments due to disease or treatment, their QOL and the efficient use of healthcare resources can be compromised. This is particularly true for patients who are nearing the end of their lives, as the physical and emotional burden of cancer can have a profound effect on both the individual and their caregivers. One approach to improving QOL in these patients is through palliative rehabilitation. Despite being an underutilized and understudied re
