Innovation In A Crisis: Lessons Learned From The Rapid Development Of An End-Of-Life Palliative Care Unit During The Covid-19 Pandemic
JOURNAL OF PALLIATIVE MEDICINE(2021)
摘要
COVID-19 strained our nation's hospitals and exposed gaps in care. As COVID-19 surged in Boston in March 2020, we worked to rapidly create a Palliative Care Compassion Unit (PCCU) to care for those dying of COVID-19 or non-COVID-19-related illnesses. The PCCU provided interdisciplinary end-of-life care, supported families, and enabled surge teams to focus on patients needing life-sustaining treatments. In this study, we describe the creation of the PCCU, including opportunities and challenges, in hopes of lending insight to other palliative care teams who may need to rapidly craft new care models during a crisis.
