Pretransplant Evaluation by Supportive Care Team for Patients Undergoing HCT for Hematological Malignancies
Feasibility of Implementing Pretransplant Evaluation by the Supportive Care Team for Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation for Hematological Malignancies
This is a feasibility study of pre-transplant involvement of a palliative care provider in the setting of HCT. Although this is primarily a feasibility pilot, the investigators will explore how patients are affected by the palliative care meetings as well as test data collection mechanisms that would be used in a future randomized clinical trial.
The investigators hypothesis is that patients will be amenable to pre-transplant involvement of the palliative care team and might welcome the chance to discuss palliative care issues separate from the primary team. Palliative care providers also have special training and experience in conducting these interactions and expertise in supportive care practices. They will be available should a patient's condition become life- threatening. This study is therefore designed primarily to evaluate the level of comfort / distress of patients when a palliative care consultation and follow-up are integrated into their care.

Experimental: Palliative Care Support
Palliative care meetings will address the following issues: 1) values and meaning of life 2) greatest hopes and fears 3) communication preferences 4) proxy readiness to make decisions, and patient preferences, if the patient were to become seriously ill, and 5) symptom management strategies.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Completion time for palliative care consultation
Time Frame: up to 100 days
|
up to 100 days
|
|
Level of comfort / distress attributed to individual parts of the consultation
Time Frame: Within 1-7 days after the initial consultation
|
The post-consultation scores measuring level of comfort or distress per topic in the palliative care consultation will be summarized per item.
|
Within 1-7 days after the initial consultation
|
Completeness of follow-up data collection
Time Frame: 1 year after the date last patient is enrolled
|
Completeness is defined by the proportion of instrument scores that can be calculated per given time point.
The completeness of follow-up data collection will be calculated and reported as a proportion of successfully completed scales vs. scales attempted to be collected or completed by patients.
