Research dissemination alone doesn’t change practice. Clinicians must elevate research and apply it. Partner with researchers to shape meaningful questions, open our clinics to research, and encourage patient participation. Progress requires true partnership. #HAPC26 #palliativecare #hospice

Thanks Ken for highlighting our piece!
📰 'Outpatient Pediatric Palliative Care: A National Survey of Clinic Structures and Operations'

Study finds wide variation in outpatient pediatric palliative care clinic models, with uncertainty about how these approaches impact long-term sustainability and success.
Once upon a time, radiology rounds were a daily part of the work flow of the inpatient medical team. What has been lost with its demise?
Nice essay @JAMAInternalMed

Thank you, Simone, for pointing out that our academic institutions should support, provide, and encourage Advance Practice Providers (APP) opportunities for scholarship. Many hands not only make like work but better work #hapc25
If all patients meet #PalliativeCare early in serious illness, in my experience probably...
1/3 who won't/don't find it helpful
1/3 who are uncertain early, but see/get the benefit later
1/3 who get benefit from the start
So let PC meet everyone and let patients vote with their feet.

Ed Martin- regulatory burden does nothing to address fraud! “It is like the bank is being robbed but the security is outside looking for parked cars over meter time to pass out tickets” #hapc25
Re: new hospice regulations “these regulations do nothing to target fraud. The bank is being robbed and the police are outside giving parking tickets. These auditors find a missing signature and they celebrate back at the office.” #hapc2025
Lots of folks at the @earlycareersig.bsky.social session this morning at #hapc25! Super excited to welcome the early career clinicians, trainees, and students!
#HaPC established folks - please say “Hi” and welcome people with a “Mentor Me” ribbon!
Hello everyone, please consider donating to next GEN scholars. We are doing a matching gift up to $10,000. We are working to expand our workforce !!!! #hapc25
Wait, what?? Is this from official channels???
Question’s on cancer pain & SUD Is buprenorphine your go-to for pain and SUD? What do you do about prn opioids? Do you do pill counts and UDTs on everyone? How many days of opioids do you give out? When should PC refer to addiction medicine? What does the palliative care clinic do when cancer is cured, but they still have SUD needs?
We are doing a GeriPal podcast on caring for people with serious illness and substance use this Thursday with some amazing palliative care & addiction medicine providers. What burning questions do you have (some of mine are below)

Wish I could be there to learn!
Getting excited for a 4-hour pre-conference workshop at #hapc25 on outpatient #palliative care. I have some great co-presenters (Skavinski, Finlay, Goodlev). We will be covering clinical, operations, leadership and education topics. #hapc

"Pts want to live as long as possible, but do not want to waste valuable life time with futile treatments. This leaves patients with the central questions whether now is the time to stop interventions...both pts and their health care providers want "a good death," but not a minute too soon." #hapc
What other departments or divisions are doing faculty sessions on teaching how to get on BlueSky? @ucsfgeriatrics.bsky.social is! Thanks @lwaltermd.bsky.social for setting this up! #geriatrics #gerisky

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
Great piece by Dani Chammas
@ewidera.bsky.social @pallipsych.bsky.social is she on Bsky to tag??
Congrats to @aahpm.bsky.social on the selection of Dr. Kristi Newport as the next Chief Medical Officer!
She is a top tier choice who will bring a lot to the field in this role. Her co-leadership of the "Oncologist In Your Pocket" lectures is fundamental to my outpatient #PalliativeCare work.
