WHAT IS PALLIATIVE CARE? An added layer of support for quality of life- relief of pain, symptoms and stresses of serious illness Provided by an interdisciplinary team that works closely not only with treating physicians, but also with family caregivers Appropriate at any age and any stage of a serious illness Should be provided concurrent with disease treatment
An 88 year old man with dementia admitted via the ED for management of back pain due to prostate cancer, spinal stenosis and arthritis. Pain is 8/10 on admission, for which he is taking 5,000 mg of acetaminophen/day. Admitted 3 times in 2 months for pain (2x), falls, and altered mental status due to constipation. His family (83 year old wife) is overwhelmed. MR. B
MR B: BEFORE AND AFTER Usual Care 4 calls to 911 in a 3 month period, leading to 4 ED visits and 3 hospitalizations, leading to: Hospital acquired infection Functional decline Family distress Palliative Care House calls referral Pain management 24/7 phone coverage Support for caregiver Meals on Wheels Friendly visitor program No 911 calls, ED visits, or hospitalizations in last 18 months
WHO BENEFITS FROM PALLIATIVE CARE? Cancer Advanced liver disease COPD with oxygen CHF, Stroke Trauma Renal failure Dementia Diabetes with severe complications ALS Serious illness Frailty Functional Limitations Limitations in Activities of Daily Living (eating, bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring and walking) Exhausted family caregivers 911 Calls Emergency Department visits Hospital admissions Skilled nursing and rehab stays Home nursing and/or rehab High Utilization Graphic adapted from the National Consensus Project for Quality Palliative Care

EARLY AND CONCURRENT PALLIATIVE CARE MAKES A DIFFERENCE... Randomized trial simultaneous standard cancer care with palliative care co-management from diagnosis versus control group receiving standard cancer care only: Improved quality of life Reduced major depression Reduced aggressiveness (less chemo < 14d before death, more likely to get hospice, less likely to be hospitalized in last month) Improved survival (11.6 mos. vs 8.9 mos., p<0.02) Temel et al.

... AND LEADS TO COST AVOIDANCE Setting Results Studies Inpatient Hospital Palliative Care $1,696 costs saved per admission for live discharges; $4,908 for death (Morrison, 2008) 43% fewer ICU admissions (Gade, 2008) Office-Based Palliative Care Home-Based Primary and Palliative Care Commercial Health Insurer Program In Primary Care: 20% fewer hospital admissions $117/day in oncology practice 33% lower costs ($117.50 savings/day) 36% lower costs in ACO model ($12,000 saved per patient) 22% lower medical costs ($12,000 saved per member on program) (Trisolini 2006) (Greer 2016) (Brumley 2007) (Lustbader 2016) (Krakauer 2009)
