Background: Michigan Health Professionals (MHP) is a large multispecialty physician group. MHP Oncology Division participates in quality improvement projects. Palliative and End of Life (EOL) care has been identified as one of the quality improvement areas. A comprehensive community oncology program for early and timely involvement of palliative and EOL care was launched in October 2017. Methods: MHP Palliative and End of life care committee was created of mostly oncologists who are board certified in Palliative care and Hospice. The program, which included pre-program training, user-friendly referral process, and live physician engagement for early involvement of palliative care (PC) and EOL care was developed and implemented. A partnership was created with Premier Hospice to integrate EOL care services with the oncology offices and to collect data. Historical data for average hospice length of stay (LOS) in hospice service for MHP oncology patients was analyzed by Integra Connect. Results: From 1/1/2018 to 12/31/2018 a total of 133 patients (MHP-T) were referred and admitted to Hospice service. Sixty-one patients were on PC service (PC group) and 72 patients (NonPC group) were referred directly to hospice. Total of 527 patients from 2012 to 2017 were analyzed for historical comparison group (HC) and 124 patients were analyzed for MHP-T group. Average LOS was 16.8 days in the HC group. Average LOS for the MHP-T, PC group and NonPC group improved to 34, 35 and 33 days respectively. HC group had 82.2% of patients with average LOS < 30 days. After program implementation average LOS < 30 days improved to 63.7% MHP-T group, 60.0% PC group and 66.7% NonPC group. In HC group, 92 out of 527 patients had average LOS of 2 days or less. Only 2 patients out of 124 patients had average LOS of 2 days or less since the launch of MHP community oncology program. Conclusions: Early and timely patient referral to the EOL care services resulted in average hospice LOS which is more than double as compared to historical comparison group. Fewer number of patients had average LOS of < 30 days and LOS of 2 days or less as compared to the historical comparison group. There was a trend towards higher LOS observed for patients who were under palliative care (PC) before hospice admission.
