1 HOSPICE PHYSICIAN CHALLENGES October 2017 Panel Presentation Mimi Pattison, MD Hope Wechkin, MD Patrick Waber, MD Wayne Kohan, MD Finding the Right Hospice Diagnosis For the following cases, please consider the following questions: 1. Is the patient medically eligible for hospice? 2. If so, what is the most appropriate hospice diagnosis? Case 1 Rose B. is a 100 yo widowed female who lives in the house in which she was born with her daughter, her granddaughter, and two great grandchildren. Her daughter calls hospice intake on Monday morning to request assessment for hospice services. She reports that Rose last saw her primary care physician 6 months ago for a refill on her Lisinopril, which is her only medication other than acetaminophen. She has had no hospitalizations and no recent visits to the emergency department. Her only medical problems are hypertension and mild-tomoderate DJD. Her baseline BMI is 21, and she has enjoyed excellent health until quite recently. She is cognitively intact. Nine days ago Rose presided over a dinner for dozens of friends and family members to celebrate her one hundredth birthday. Several days after the party, she slept till 10 AM, which she d never done before. The next day she did not get out of bed. Since then Rose has been increasingly somnolent, sleeping approximately 20 hours per day. She s had small meals and some hydration when awake. On exam she is sleepy but arousable and neurologically intact. She endorses moderate pain that is greater than her baseline. Her family members are quite worried about her, as they say that this is completely unlike her. Rose herself reassures them and states that she is "ready to go." Family is anxious to receive hospice support. Hospice Physician Challenges Page 1
2 Case 2 Ruby S. is an 86 year old female with a distant history of breast cancer who recently presented to her physician with dyspnea and weight loss. She has no history of tobacco exposure. Her BMI is now 16. A chest x ray revealed a large left-sided lung mass. She has refused all further diagnostic testing and desires comfort care only. On exam, she is weak, mildly confused, and has decreased breath sounds over the left lower lung field. Case 3 Gerald L. is an 83 year old male with a medical history significant only for asthma who was found down in his home. He was taken to the ED, where it was noted that he had a POLST indicating a preference for DNR status and comfort care only. On exam he was nonresponsive and tachypneic with rhonchorous breathing. His son desired comfort care only. Case 4 Ralph G. is a 79 year old male with what is described in his medical record as end-stage dementia. He has a BMI of 24, and is non-ambulatory secondary to bilateral severe hip DJD. He is able to speak about 10 words, and recognizes his family intermittently. He has a stage III heel ulcer, and history of Parkinson s disease. Most recent serum albumin done 3 months ago was 3.2. He has refused to eat or drink for the past four days. Death with Dignity-A Case that did not go as Planned Case 5 54 yo male with stomach cancer admitted to hospice 1 week ago. Had been seen by primary RN one time. Wife and caregiver former ED RN. Lived in their own home that he built. No children. Patients Mother involved in care and lives close by. Week-end call to triage by wife requesting ED strength GI cocktail for heartburn. MD was called and asked for more information. Wife insisting she knew what he needed. Further review of chart not easily accessible initially revealed that patient had completed T-spine radiation 8 days ago. Had been on steroids for inflammation and PPI, both of which patient had been discontinued. MD informed nurse that this was mostly likely radiation esophagitis and not heartburn. Wife informed. Visit done to the home. Pain meds adjusted, PPI re-started, but concern expressed for adequate pain management and offered transfer to Hospice House Hospice Physician Challenges Page 2
3 for management. Adamantly refused transfer, wanting to die in the home he built. Wife mentioned briefly that patient at one time explored Death with Dignity option. MD informed of this. Thought at this stage with current symptoms he would be unable to take the med. Next morning call to wife reported patient not responding and seemed to be having pain. Nurse visited and was informed that the evening before, after having increasing pain and a tarry stool he decided to take the DWD meds as he was afraid it was his last opportunity. It was now 14 hours after the ingestion. He was unresponsive and grimacing with turns. Wife insisting on liquid Morphine for pain as patient was becoming somewhat more responsive. Nurse informed not to discuss that he took the meds did not want Mother to know. MD called for orders. What to do about ongoing care when safety a big concern? Case 6 55 yo male with progressive neurological disorder has been on your hospice for 6 weeks. He recently came out of an in-patient visit for pain management and is on a Fentanyl infusion for his pain. He was miserable in the unit as he could not smoke. He lives alone in a small home on neighbor s property. They are not family and not involved as caregivers but are friendly neighbors. To access his home there are 25 steps down to his residence. His functional status varies day to day. Some days he is able to get up and walk around, other days chair or bedbound. He has caregivers 4 hours a day. He has adequate funding for additional care giving but refuses. He is able to eat some and has a PEG tube mostly for meds specifically neuropathic pain meds. Last week the RN found him sitting in chair-no caregiver for 2 days and had not been able to administer his own meds. Does not have the manual dexterity. He was in a pain crisis. Refused to have an adjustment in his infusion. Had some bolus dosing and meds and the crisis resolved. He is a very high fall risk and the property he walks around on in rocky and not level. He refuses to use any device to help him ambulate. Hospice Physician Challenges Page 3
