Study Summary
Palliative care (PC) seeks to reduce suffering and improve quality of life for patients with serious illnesses and their families. National guidelines recommend that clinicians either provide palliative care themselves (generalist PC) or consult experts (specialist PC) as a standard part of serious illness care. This feasibility pilot study will be conducted with 6 hospitals at two large U.S. health systems and enroll 540 seriously ill hospitalized patients. Eligibility is determined by a mortality prediction score where enrolled patients have at least a 60% risk of dying within 1 year. Enrollment assessment occurs as close as possible to 36 hours post admission. In this cluster-randomized trial, the 6 hospitals will be randomized to 3 arms: (1) standardized usual care, (2) trained generalist PC, or (3) specialist PC. Generalists are trained using the Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC) online trainings. The pilot study will only measure process outcomes to assess the feasibility of a larger clinical trial (e.g., are the interventions working as intended). This pilot feasibility study is the precursor to a much larger pragmatic, hybrid effectiveness-implementation parallel-cluster RCT that will assess the comparative effectiveness of triggering generalist PC and specialist PC on several patient-centered outcome measures.
