Hey, everyone.
I'm Marie Bakaitis, and I'm a professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and also the associate director of the Center for Palliative and Supportive Care.
Let's hear the song.
Yeah, let's hear the song.
So living in Alabama, which is our palliative care desert in the South, there were no palliative care services in any of the small rural hospitals.
And so we decided that we needed to bring palliative care there.
It wasn't realistic to bring it by people.
And so the video consult was what became the mode.
We went to a hospital in Mississippi, one in Alabama, and one in South Carolina.
So probably the most important thing is we developed the consultation as a culturally-based consultation process.
And so we worked closely with a community advisory group who, through focus groups, told us how it was that black and white individuals with serious illness had wanted to be treated.
So their caregivers did focus groups.
And then we incorporated that information
into the consultation process, NCP guideline standard consultation.
And so really, this whole thing was very focused on dealing not only with the issues of rural, but also the diverse cultures that we have.
Sheena.
Sheena.
Dr. Sheena Gassway, yes.
Sure.
So the community that was the one we tapped for the original study was an R21.
