Concurrent Hospice Healthcare Utilization in the Hematology/Oncology Veteran's Affairs Patient Population

Conclusions: A minority of concurrent care patients received cancer-directed therapies or additional types of health care interventions despite the option to do so. Cancer-directed treatment utilization also decreased as patients approached end of life. Patients enrolled in concurrent care were able to appreciate its benefits for longer, as the average length of stay on concurrent care was nearly 3 months.PMID:37846638 | DOI:10.1177/10499091231206561
