ED-PALS: A Comprehensive Palliative Care Service for Oncology Patients in the Emergency Department.
CONCLUSIONS:: This tripartite model of palliative care, hospice, and ED collaboration allows earlier access to palliative care in the ED and direct admissions to the palliative care unit and comfort care rooms. The ED patients who did not need admission were also attended to in the palliative care "Hot Clinics" within a week with home hospice help. Patients who required inpatient hospice care were directly admitted there from the ED. PMID: 30674197 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cost Savings Associated With Palliative Care Among Older Adults With Advanced Cancer.
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that palliative care has the capacity to substantially reduce healthcare expenditure among advanced cancer patients. Earlier palliative care consultation results in greater cost reductions than consultation in the last week of life. PMID: 33423523 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

A Cross-Sectional Survey of the Activity of Palliative Care Teams in Portugal.
Abstract Of the 21 Portuguese teams identified, 10 accepted to participate in the study. A total of 164 patients were included with a median of 15.5 per team (4-32). Of all the patients included, 60 (37%) were identified as inpatients in palliative care units; 59 (36%) by an intrahospital support team; 26 (16%) as outpatients; and 19 (12%) at home. The median age was 71 years (16-95). Fifty-one percent were females. The diagnosis was cancer in 151 (92%) patients. The most common cancer was colorectal in 22 (15%) patients, followed by gastric 17 (11%), head and neck 17 (11%), breast 15 (10%), and lung cancers 14 (9...

Do Hospitals that Serve a High Percentage of Medicaid Patients Perform Well on Evidence-based Guidelines for Colon Cancer Care?
Conclusions. High Medicaid hospital status is associated with poor performance on evidence-based colon cancer care. Policies to improve the quality of colon cancer care should target these settings. PMID: 23974390 [PubMed - in process]

Immunochemical faecal occult blood tests in primary care and the risk of delay in the diagnosis of colorectal cancer.
Conclusion. IFOBT might be helpful in selecting which patients to refer for colonoscopy. However, iFOBT has a limited sensitivity as a diagnostic test for CRC and adenomas with HGD. Relying only on iFOBT for colonoscopy referral could delay diagnosis, especially for patients with anaemia found en passant. PMID: 24191847 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Increased primary health care use in the first year after colorectal cancer diagnosis.
Conclusions. The GP plays a significant role in the year after CRC diagnosis. This role may be associated with treatment-related side effects and psychological problems. Formal guidelines on the involvement of the GP during CRC treatment might ensure more effective allocation and communication of care between primary and secondary healthcare services.

Promoting Chinese-Speaking Primary Care Physicians' Communication with Immigrant Patients about Colorectal Cancer Screening: A Cluster Randomized Trial Design.
This study evaluated a physician-based intervention guided by social cognitive theory (SCT) to inform future research involving minority physicians and patients. Twenty-five Chinese-speaking primary care physicians were randomized into intervention or usual care arms. The intervention included two 45-minute in-office training sessions paired with a dual-language communication guide detailing strategies in addressing Chinese patients' screening barriers. Physicians' feedback on the intervention, their performance data during training, and pre-post intervention survey data were collected and analyzed. Most physicians (~85%) ...

The Use of Ultrasound in Palliative Care and Hospice.
Abstract Palliative care aims to reduce symptom burden and enhance quality of life for those with terminal disease. Ultrasound has become an increasingly popular diagnostic and therapeutic modality due to its low cost, ease of portability, safety, and good patient acceptance. A review of the literature to date shows that as a diagnostic tool, as a therapeutic modality, and as a tool to accurately guide palliative procedures, ultrasound can have many roles in palliative care and hospice. Based on our clinical experience, musculoskeletal ultrasound can be of benefit to patients with terminal disease. Examples includ...

Increased consultation frequency in primary care, a risk marker for cancer: a case-control study.
CONCLUSION: Eighty-seven percent of patients with the most common cancers consulted a general practitioner (GP) a year before their diagnosis. An increase in consultation frequency and presentation of any symptom should raise the GP's suspicion of cancer. Key points Knowledge about the prevalence of early symptoms and other clinical signs in cancer patients in primary care remains insufficient. • Eighty-seven percent of the patients with the seven most common cancers consulted a general practitioner 12 months prior to cancer diagnosis. • Both the frequency of consultation and the number of symptoms and diseases exp...

End-of-life care decisions using a Korean advance directive among cancer patient-caregiver dyads.
Abstract OBJECTIVE: The Korean advance directive (K-AD) comprises a value statement, treatment directives, preferences for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), artificial ventilation, tube feeding, and hospice care, as well as a proxy appointment. The K-AD can facilitate a patient's decision making with respect to end-of-life (EoL) care. The present study aimed to examine the extent to which patient-caregiver dyads would use the K-AD and agree on EoL care decisions. METHODS: Using a descriptive study design, 81 cancer patients were invited to participate. The final sample consisted of 44 patient-caregiver dya...

Examining the Influence of Cost Concern and Awareness of Low-cost Health Care on Cancer Screening among the Medically Underserved.
Abstract African Americans suffer a greater burden of mortality from breast, cervical, and colorectal cancers than other groups in the United States. Early detection through timely screening can improve survival outcomes; however, cost is frequently reported as a barrier to screening. Federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) provide preventive and primary care to underserved populations regardless of ability to pay, positioning them to improve cancer screening rates. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of concern about health care cost (cost concern) and awareness of low-cost health care (awar...
