Triaging/Tailoring Palliative Care Services • Can we identify patients at times of need to determine when to introduce or intensify palliative care resources? • While utilization of earlier palliative care has improved over the last decade, we cannot rely exclusively on oncology clinician assessment of patients' palliative care needs. • Triaging palliative care services requires objective triggers rather than clinician judgment. #ha
Note that Temel used this slide to highlight this is NOT the way oncologists should approach palliative care. Using Cancer Characteristics to Triage Palliative Care Favorable targetable mutation (e.g., EGFR, ALK, ROS, RET) No palliative care Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer High PDL1 Palliative care after immune checkpoint inhibitor is no longer safe or effective Low PDL1 Early palliative care #hapc25
Temel highlighting that #PalliativeCare is more than physical symptom management.
She notes that she and her fellow oncologists should not rely on clinical characteristics of cancer alone to know when palliative care should be involved.
(The second slide is what NOT to do)
In palliative care, much of my hospital consult work was educating others on the importance of early consults and the time needed to do them well. These two slides (by Dr. Greer and Dr. Temel) are key in illustrating why: much of the value add requires rapport, and rapport takes time. #hapc25
