Abstract Stem cell transplantation (SCT) and palliative care (PC) may initially appear to be distant extremes in the continuum of care of patients with hematologic malignancies, opposed by multiple obstacles preventing their integration. Rather, we will posit that both fields share many similarities and have much to learn from one another. PC has increasing relevance in cancer care given recent studies that link PC to improved quality-of-life, survival, and decreased cost of care. Understanding modern conceptualizations of PC and its role within SCT is key. Through the report of a single academic medical center experience with an integrated SCT and PC model over the last decade, we will discuss future opportunities for strengthening collaboration between SCT and PC. PC in SCT should be considered from the day of diagnosis and tied to need, not to prognosis.

Clinic Visits

Abstract Telehealth videoconferencing has been shown to be feasible, cost-effective and safe in numerous fields of medicine. In an effort to increase access and improve the quality of care offered to patients we implemented a telehealth initiative allowing for remote orthopedic clinic visits at a major academic medical center. Here we report on our experience and early outcomes. A telehealth platform was launched for a single fellowship trained orthopedic surgeon at a major academic hospital in August 2018. New patients residing outside the metro area, all return patients and patients with an uncomplicated post-operative course were offered the option to complete patient encounters remotely via a telehealth platform. Each patient was offered a Patient Satisfaction Survey following video visit. Patient zip codes were used to estimate patient commutes. Ninety-six percent of patients agreed/strongly agreed with the statement ‘I was satisfied with my Telehealth experience’ while 51% agreed/strongly agreed with the statement ‘This visit was just as good as a face to face visit’. In all, 94% of patients agreed/strongly agreed with the statement ‘Having a telehealth visit made receiving care more accessible for me’. The median miles saved on commutes were 123.3 miles. The no show rate for telehealth visits was 8.2% versus 3.2% for in-person (P < 0.001). Telehealth video visits provided patients with a modality for completing orthopedic clinic visits while maintaining a high-quality care and patient satisfaction. Patient convenience was optimized with video visits with elimination of long commutes. Level of evidence: IV.
