2. Fig. 1
Monthly physician (MD) or nurse practitioner (NP) and licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) visits received by patients enrolled in a high-touch community-based specialist palliative care program for at least one month (n = 796). Boxplots show the distributions of MD/NP and LCSW visits for patients who were in the program for at least one month. The box shows the 25th and 75th percentiles, and the horizontal line within the box shows the median. The horizontal lines at the ends of the whiskers show the fifth and 95th percentiles. Individual data points are shown if they fall outside of the fifth or 95th percentiles.

Monthly total telephone calls received by patients enrolled in a high-touch community-based specialist palliative care program for at least one month (n = 796). Boxplot shows the distribution of total calls for patients who were in the program for at least one month. The box shows the 25th and 75th percentiles, and the horizontal line within the box shows the median. The horizontal lines at the ends of the whiskers show the fifth and 95th percentiles. Individual data points are shown if they fall outside of the fifth or 95th percentiles.

4. Fig. 3
Symptom distress trajectories across time for 50 randomly selected patients enrolled in the palliative care program. Higher CMSAS scores reflect greater symptom distress. Each black line represents the model-estimated linear slope across time for a patient. Fifty randomly selected patients are depicted to show the variation in symptom distress trajectories across time. CMSAS = Condensed Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale.
