摘要
Background Increased access to interprofessional palliative care is needed in ambulatory oncology settings. To achieve this, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute launched a collaborative drug therapy management clinic, PharmPAL, where credentialed advanced practice pharmacists lead independent patient visits. Methods As part of a pilot project focused on clinical innovation, we analyzed PharmPAL referrals and pharmacist interventions between July 2020 and June 2021. We extracted referral patterns, patient hospitalizations, and deaths from the electronic medical record. Outpatient palliative care clinicians completed a survey to determine pharmacist needs and overall satisfaction with PharmPAL. Results From July 2020 to June 2021, PharmPAL constituted 4.7% (299/6305) of all outpatient palliative care encounters. Most palliative care clinicians (86% [6/7]) reported a desire to increase PharmPAL availability. No patient hospitalizations or deaths were attributed to PharmPAL visits. Conclusion PharmPAL increased access to palliative care services. All clinicians reported satisfaction with PharmPAL. We continue to assess the impact PharmPAL has on clinic operations and provider satisfaction.
