Palliative Care: Custom Care for the Complex Patient
Goals
6
• Overview of Palliative Care & fit with ACO goals
• Identify trends in Palliative Care that are well aligned with ACO initiatives
• Engage panelists re their program innovations
Characteristics of ACO (Ideal)
7
• Risk pool of total healthcare costs & ability to plan proactively for care needs
• Services not tied to billing or silos– Use of internet and telephone help– Team work and shared roles– Consulting specialists can get paid without
“doing procedures”
• Alternative uses of capital for facilities

• What do patients want?
• What do physicians & other providers want?
• What do administrators & payers want?
Is this a patient-centered system??
Definition of Palliative Care*• Palliative care is specialized medical care for people with
serious illnesses. This type of care is focused on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress of a serious illness -whatever the diagnosis.
• The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family. Palliative care is provided by a team of doctors, nurses, and other specialists who work with a patient’s other doctors to provide an extra layer of support.
• Palliative care is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness, and can be provided together with curative treatment.

Where Palliative Care Fits
Custom Care for Complex Patients
• Patients with multiple medical conditions – beyond single disease approaches
• “Whole person” & family; context is very important to helpful interventions
• Patient Values drive choices
• Meeting needs is a team sport
Goal: Alignment & Clarity
14
Better health. Better care. Lower cost.
Ad in Politico,
November 2012
Palliative care sees the person beyond the
cancer treatment.
Palliative care treats the person as well as the
disease.
It works.
Challenges
• Timing (proactive vs. reactive)• Time & access• Skills• Roles• Need to update goals; things change• Payment alignment wt investment
Service Design Options
17
Trends
18
• Home based services
• Hybrids of palliative care and geriatric models
• Concurrent care in specialty areas such as cancer
• Palliative care as medical home
• Telehealth interfaces with patient & family
• Urgent care for cancer, CHF, other – staffed by palliative care NPs
• Generalist skill building & tools
• Payer interest in support (NBGH-CHF-CAPC project)
Keys to Success in ACO
19
Results are best when “right patients” are identified proactively and early•Services are broadly and consistently available – system-wide•Critical mass of trained specialty staff + educational outreach to generalists•Use of evidenced based tools•Initiative is paired with good E.H.R. & Advance Care Planning•Clear measurement strategy
Panelists Today• Susan Block, MD (Boston, MA)

Initial Questions• What recent results have surprised you?• What screening method to ID patients is working
the best for you?• What are you most excited about going forward?• How have you moved orgs from focus on
advance directives to advance care planning?• Can you share specific results with interested
