concrete evidence-based data, which I think will exist and can be done on the impact of both psychological and spiritual well-being on value in healthcare.
I couldn't agree more.
I...
We rely on the support of our social workers and our chaplains, both in terms of our patient care, but also in terms of the care of our interdisciplinary team.
And that I don't think we could function as a palliative care institute without their input.
Yeah, I mean I think all you've also put your finger on one of the major challenges For the field is that we don't have a workforce now that meets the current need for palliative care specialists across all four disciplines and
And it is pretty clear that even though we are dramatically increasing the number of all four core disciplines who are entering the field of palliative care and becoming, as you said, board certified, we are still not going to meet the need.
So what do we do about that?
And I think there are three key solutions or three solutions that we need to think about.
The first is we need to think about
ensuring that every clinician who cares for a person with serious illness has the core knowledge and skills to provide primary palliative care so that we can use palliative care specialists truly as specialists.
So that's the first thing that has to happen.
The second thing that has to happen is I think we need to begin to use the data that we have
to target populations that most benefit from palliative care services.
And I hate to say the word triage, but it's really about matching patient need with the knowledge and skills that specialist care provides.
And then I think the third issue, and to me the most important issue, and this is, I think, one that's represented by your blog,
is that we need to get beyond the specialty silos that quote unquote are palliative care and geriatrics and really need to think about the care of complex, seriously older adults from a population health perspective.
And that as long as we continue to think about these within silos of geriatrics, palliative care, palliative medicine, cardiology, we are not going to be addressing the needs of this population.
And so the idea that focusing two fields, geriatrics and palliative care, both on the needs of this population, targeting the high-risk individuals for specialist-level care and expanding primary palliative care and geriatrics so that we raise the floor or the basement of care for this population of patients.
I knew you were going to ask me that.
