Background: Patients with hematologic malignancies are referred to palliative care less than patients with solid tumor malignancies. Clinical trials are underway at academic centers exploring early inpatient palliative care for patients newly diagnosed with AML receiving induction chemotherapy. Feasibility of such interventions have not been studied in a community setting. We structured a multi-faceted intervention for our community hematology and palliative team on the benefits of early palliative care in hematologic malignancies with the aim to increase utilization. Methods: In 2017, 24% of patients with AML admitted to Lancaster General Hospital for induction chemotherapy received an inpatient palliative consultation. Needs assessment performed on the hematology and palliative teams demonstrated a need for integration of palliative care into clinical pathways, automatic triggers for consultation, a need for increased education on AML, and creation of standard elements in inpatient consultations. Results: In the spring of 2018, we integrated palliative care into institutional AML clinical pathways such that all patients receive inpatient palliative consultation within 72 hours of admission. A consultation trigger was placed within the admission order set and is currently being incorporated into the chemotherapy treatment protocol. An educational program on AML was created and presented by the hematology team to the inpatient palliative team. This intervention included creation of minimum standards for inpatient palliative consultation including provider assessment within 72 hours of referral, two visits per week by a provider and a minimum of one visit by the interdisciplinary team during admission with a focus on symptom management, psychosocial assessments, and advanced care planning. Conclusions: We have demonstrated feasibility of creating standards for early palliative care intervention in AML patients with collaboration from the hematology and palliative teams. Next steps will include assessing whether these interventions increase uptake of palliative care utilization and specific patient outcomes.
