Study Summary
The overarching goal of this research program is to improve the quality of end-of-life care provided to Veterans dying in VA Medical Centers (VAMCs), by transferring the best practices of home hospice and palliative care for the last days and hours of life into the inpatient setting. This trial will examine two methods of delivering a Comfort Care Education Intervention utilizing the established infrastructure of VA Palliative Care Consult Teams (PCCT): a Basic Implementation Approach using a teleconference to review educational materials and activate PCCTs to educate other providers, and an Enhanced Implementation Approach utilizing in-person, train-the-"champion" workshops to prepare PCCT members to be leaders and trainers at their home sites. Findings will provide a robust evaluation of the implementation process, and will be used to refine the Comfort Care Education Intervention and implementation strategies in preparation for nationwide dissemination of best practices for end-of-life care within the VA Healthcare System.
