Pall Care No PC Pall Care No PC
Full Code None DNR/DNI
INTRODUCTION
• In 2016 ASCO recommended that patients with
advanced cancer receive dedicated palliative care
(PC) services1. Early PC involvement is
associated with lower spending, fewer 30-day
readmission rates, decreased chemotherapy
administration at the end of life (EOL) and
increased hospice referrals2.
• Many patients are not referred and continue to
receive chemotherapy and utilize high-acuity
services near the EOL.
• The Oncology Care Model (OCM) is a CMS
episode-based alternative payment
model promoting high-value care.
• We evaluated the effect of PC visits on EOL
outcomes including code status (CS) and
spending in the last 30 days of life.
METHODS AND MATERIALS
• Identified OCM patients with episodes April 1
2016- July 1 2018 with GI and H&N
malignancies who had died and had 2 or more
visits with a medical oncologist at Sidney Kimmel
Cancer Center.
• Conducted a retrospective chart review and
collected data on cancer stage at diagnosis,
tumor type, palliative care consultation
(inpatient or outpatient), code status
documentation, and demographics including zip
code and marital status.
• Code status (CS) was recorded at the start of each
episode and at the time of death.
• Data were analyzed to determine if associations
exist between palliative care visits and lower
non-hospice spending, chemotherapy and
inpatient utilization, as well as improved
documentation of CS.
RESULTS DISCUSSION
• Hypothesis: PC intervention is associated with greater
documentation of CS before death, as well as lower
spending and utilization of chemotherapy or acute care
in the last 30 days of life.
• Rates of outpatient PC referral were low (18% of
patients).
• PC intervention is associated with improved CS
documentation.
• Patients who saw PC were significantly more likely to
have a DNR/DNI code status at death.
• Initial DNR status is associated with lower acute care
spending, whereas final CS was not.
• Initial CS is an important variable linking early PC
intervention to lower spending.
CONCLUSION
• Our analysis of OCM patients further demonstrates
the value of early PC intervention not only on cost
reduction but also on EOL care and utilization.
• PC intervention was most notably associated with lower
spending at EOL.
• We plan to continue this project to expand data analysis
to include more OCM patients with other solid tumors.
