ForwardAddressing the Palliative Care Needs of Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
DESCRIPTION
Specialty Compared to Oncology delivered Palliative Care for Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (SCOPE-Leukemia) is a cluster-randomized comparative effectiveness trial of primary palliative care versus specialty palliative care in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and their caregivers. The goal of the trial is to answer a critical question on how to best address the palliative care needs of patients with AML and their caregivers and provide essential data on how healthcare systems can ensure that optimal palliative care services are available for their patients.
As part of this trial, leukemia clinicians (i.e., physicians and advance practice providers) will attend a three-hour palliative care training focused on the following educational objectives:
- Understand the unmet palliative care needs of patients with AML.
- Manage the physical and psychological symptoms experienced by patients with AML.
- Develop strategies to promote effective coping and enhance illness and prognostic understanding in patients with AML.
- Promote shared decision-making and strategies to optimize end-of-life care for patients with AML.
* Please Note: This educational course will be offered on multiple occasions to accommodate the schedule of leukemia clinicians participating across multiple institutions. Leukemia clinicians will attend a single educational training that will last 3 hours. There will be at least 10 sessions throughout the duration of this course.
Target Audience
This activity is intended for Physicians, Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants in the specialties of Hematology/Oncology and Hospice and Palliative Care.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of the training course, participants will be able to:
- Assess the palliative care needs of hospitalized patients with AML.
- Demonstrate effective management of physical and psychological symptoms experienced by patients with AML.
- Discuss effective coping and engage in discussions to enhance illness and prognostic understanding in patients with AML.
- Discuss end-of-life care preferences for patients with AML and incorporate strategies to optimize care at the end of life for this population.
- Demonstrate effective collaboration among MD and APP team members when delivering palliative care to patients with AML.
