How do we get to them?
And then when we do create these triggers that are imperfect and those are the future directions I hope we talk about, that then we're like, whoa, no, no, no, no, no, no.
And so there is a t there's a tension there.
And I totally agree with you that whether it's triage, a better trigger, a better a different threshold, um, better identification of palliative care needs rather than diagnoses or prognoses um and how we get at that, I think we have a lot of work to do.
But um
And I'm excited about that work.
But I think conceptually like we have to be okay that we do want to see the right people and we want to see them earlier and we don't even know the universe of those people unless we
start to systematically trigger and take out some of the biases that that are inherent to the usual care opt-in clinician.
The Scott uh example of like his myopic, Alex isn't going to get palliative care because he just doesn't think about it the same way as had you just been fortunate to get Kate as your ICE doctor the next day.
Yes.
Um I don't know if this was meant to be a softball, but you're like needling me at uh I let that need to be softball.
Yes, it totally bothers me that somehow we as a field in palliative care are held to the standard to even prove that we should exist and our value.
Um
I I mean, Diane Meyer and others are better to sort of get at the history of that and and the why and and what, but but I think just looking at it on its face, I think it's crap.
Бат, бад, um
The trial, as I think Scott articulated well, is that not only did we intend to to yes, show that because it seems we need to for health systems to invest in IN, but also
to answer that question about when delivered, which we had to create separation between the groups in order to answer that question in a large, generalizable, pragmatic way.
Um and and so I think we accomplished both goals um with its limitations in mind.
Uh my passion project is to um do a better job at identifying patients who should be enrolled in these trials that are likely to benefit from palliative care, whether that's prognostic, whether it's palliative care needs, but um we gotta we gotta have better predictive enrichment.
Um and I think that'll get at a number of uh limitations and problems we've talked about.
