Summary

This is a pilot study to evaluate the usability and feasibility of a telehealth-delivered advance care planning intervention among 20 older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

Detailed description

Older adults with AML and MDS are more likely to receive aggressive care and less likely to utilize hospice at the end-of-life. Advance care planning (ACP) intervention delivered through telehealth may improve patient-reported outcomes and end-of-life care in this population. This pilot study seeks to evaluate the usability and feasibility of a telehealth-delivered advance care planning intervention. We will adapt the Serious Illness Care Program.

Conditions
