Summary

This is a pilot study to assess the preliminary efficacy of an inpatient advance care planning intervention on outcomes in older patients with hematologic malignancies

Detailed description

Older adults with hematologic malignancies receive more aggressive inpatient care at the end of life compared to patients with solid tumors. Advance care planning may promote early serious illness conversations for patients with hematologic malignancies, leading to less aggressive healthcare utilization at the end of life. This pilot aims to assess the preliminary efficacy of an inpatient advance care planning intervention on outcomes in older patients with hematologic malignancies.
