Palliative Care: What is it and why is it important? J. Randall Curtis, MD, MPH Director, Cambia Palliative Care Center of Excellence Harborview Medical Center, University of Washington

Outline: Five Questions What is palliative care and how does it help? Does palliative care reduce costs and is that important? How are we doing in the US today? What are we doing at UW Medicine? What can you do?

Definition of Palliative Care Specialized care for people with serious illnesses… focused on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of a serious illness - whatever the diagnosis Goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and family… to provide an extra layer of support Palliative care is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness, and can be provided together with curative treatment Center to Advance Palliative Care 2011

Understanding the Words Palliative care: Improving quality of life for patients with serious illness End-of-life care: For those who are entering the last phase of life Hospice: A model for delivery of end-of-life care Palliative Care Hospice Care End-of-life Care

What do Americans really think? It is important patients and families be educated about palliative care options available to them How important is it that palliative care be a top priority for the health care system? Regence Foundation/National Journal: n=1000 US Adults Age 18+; 2/2011

Provision of Palliative Care Primary palliative care –Care provided by all clinicians caring for patients with serious illness Specialty palliative care –Care provided by palliative care specialists

Growth of PC Programs Nationally

Outline: Five Questions What is palliative care and how does it help? Does palliative care reduce costs and is that important? How are we doing in the US today? What are we doing at UW Medicine? What can you do?

Meta-review of 8 systematic reviews 10 good studies demonstrate a “clear pattern of cost savings” from inpatient palliative care consultation

UW and HMC inpatient palliative care: Analysis of patients with palliative care consult compared to similar patients without consult Costs reduced for patients seen by palliative care service, especially when PC involved early:  Days 1-7: Costs reduced 13% ($2141)  Days 8-30: Costs reduced 5% ($2870)  Days > 30: No cost reduct ion

NWH/HMC outpatient program: Patients seen by service had reduced ED visits by 29% and hospital admission by 20% compared to historical data

Is Reducing Costs Important? Saving money is not the goal!! Goal: improving the quality of care for patients and family; match care to patient’s informed goals Palliative care will only reduce costs if patients are getting more aggressive care than they want –This is the reality in the US in 2016

Outline: Five Questions What is palliative care and how does it help? Does palliative care reduce costs and is that important? How are we doing in the US today? What are we doing at UW Medicine? What can you do?

How are we doing in the US today? Our track record is not great There is much reason for hope and optimism –Palliative care helping to lead a transformation toward truly “patient-centered care”
