Improving Palliative Care Access Through Technology (ImPAcTT)

7. juli 2021 oppdatert av: Caroline Stephens, University of Utah

Improving Palliative Care Access Through Technology (ImPAcTT): A Multi- Component Pilot Study

This project will focus on developing, optimizing and pilot-testing a multi-component Improving Access Through Technology (ImPAcTT) intervention that leverages existing telehealth technologies to provide staff education; family outreach, engagement and support; care coordination; and resident symptom management and facilitation of goals-of-care discussion.

Detaljert beskrivelse

Almost 1.8 million older Americans live in nursing homes (NH), with estimates that this number will grow to more than 3 million by 2050. NHs are increasingly becoming the place of care and site of death for frail older adults dying from multiple chronic illnesses. Unfortunately, most residents die without the benefit of palliative care (PC) or with palliation delayed until the last days of life.

Unfortunately, hospice services are often the only formal end of life care service available in NHs, and access to hospice enrollment is complicated by financial implications for both NHs and residents.

Telehealth, or remote monitoring of patients through information and communication technologies, is an effective mechanism for addressing the increased demand on health services and has much to offer to people living with and dying from advanced illness. Moreover, numerous studies have demonstrated positive benefits of using telehealth in the NH to improve access to consultants (e.g., neurology, dermatology, psychiatry).

Little is known, however, about the effect of using Telehealth on improving access to PC specialists in the NH setting.

The proposed ImPAcTT intervention employs a secure communications platform that permits multi-person live video, audio, and text message consultations; real-time document sharing and documentation for advanced care planning discussions; and remote virtual assessment capabilities.

The investigator will conduct a pilot implementation trial of ImPAcTT in 3 study nursing homes to evaluate our ability to safely recruit and retain study participants, collect appropriate and accurate data, and determine preliminary estimates of an effect size of the intervention.

Intervensjon / Behandling
Eksperimentell: ImPAcTT intervention
Within 48-72 hours of enrollment in the study, the primary participant and family will receive an ImPAcTT Telehealth visit with the PC provider. The provider will conduct a comprehensive PC assessment aligned with the National Consensus Project for Quality Palliative Care guidelines. Visits, which may include remote physical assessment using a digital stethoscope, dermatoscope, etc., will be documented and transmitted to the NH. Advanced Care Planning (ACP) and goals of care discussions will be facilitated by the ability to virtually share and edit documents, such as the Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST), in real time with primary participants and/or family. The PC provider will conduct follow-up visits 1 week following the initial visit, then on a case-by-case basis.

JA

IPD-planbeskrivelse

Data (complete dataset with full documentation including metadata, protocols, etc) will be made available by the online publication date unless the NIH policy specifies an earlier date. The PI will work the primary mentor to ensure that the study data are submitted to the PCRC De-identified Data Repository. (https://palliativecareresearch.org/corescenters/data-informatics-statistics-core-disc/pcrc-de-identified-data-repository-didr).

This would allow for secondary data analyses of the data to be conducted and support those who need access to these datasets for preliminary data and/or grant proposal preparation. Human subject data will be shared with other investigators within the limits of HIPAA and other patient confidentiality requirements, including the removal of all participant identifiers from all source documents and the use of unique participant identification numbers, and in accordance with PCRC protocols.

IPD-delingstidsramme

Data will be made available by the online publication date unless the NIH policy specifies an earlier date.

Tilgangskriterier for IPD-deling

This study has specific data and resource sharing plans to make data available both to the community of scientists interested in palliative care and nursing home research to avoid unintentional duplication of research. Moreover, the investigator would welcome collaboration with others who could make use of the Telehealth visit protocols developed in this ImPAcTT project.
