Palliative Care Social Work Interventions and Co-occurring Outcomes: A Six-Year Descriptive Cohort
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to describe the types of interventions and outcomes documented by palliative care social workers (PCSWs) using a structured electronic health record (EHR) flowsheet, and to analyze variations in these across different teams and visits. Their retrospective analysis of 4,993 adult patients revealed significant co-occurrence patterns between specific interventions and outcomes, suggesting potential quality indicators for palliative care. However, the study notes limitations in the documentation process that warrant further investigation through multisite psychometric evaluations.
