"We're Onto Something Here!": Clinician Perspectives of a Pilot Program to Increase Palliative Care Access in an Urban Skilled Nursing Facility.
Journal of the American Medical Directors Association 2024 January 5
Many adults cycle between the hospital and skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) near the end of life. However, palliative care services, which can provide specialized support for patients with serious illness, are often limited at SNFs. The "3C's Palliative Care Program," a 5-month pilot, aimed to improve palliative care access for patients admitted to subacute rehabilitation at an SNF affiliated with an urban academic medical center. This manuscript focuses on the pilot's feasibility, acceptability based on SNF clinician feedback from interviews, and lessons learned. The 3C's Program featured primary palliative care skill coaching, virtual palliative care consultations, and continuity via referrals to home-based palliative care at discharge. Ninety percent of SNF clinicians surveyed recommended the continuation of the pilot. SNF clinicians felt the program improved their ability to identify patients for PC consultation, to understand the role and value of palliative care, and to appreciate their patients' illness trajectories. Lessons learned from this pilot suggest SNF-Palliative Care clinician relationship building and simple patient identification mechanisms for palliative care are key to the success of palliative care at SNF integration.
