House Staff Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Conference (2016-2019)
Background
Inpatient Palliative Care Teams (IPCTs) are often called upon to provide multidisciplinary care across hospital settings at Jefferson. However, there is currently no mechanism in place wherein providers consulting the IPCT can provide feedback to specialty palliative care clinicians. Such input from providers could be used to elucidate those services provided by the team which are most appreciated and those which require further development in order to be truly effective. Furthermore, such input may also serve to identify completely new areas for inpatient palliative care needs.

House Staff Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Conference (2016-2019)
Background
- A multi-faceted, volunteer-led, hospital-based program1has been shown to: •Reduce the incidence of delirium •Decrease hospital length of stay •Reduce hospital costs.
- Implementation of such a program requires upfront investment.
- A smaller, volunteer-based visitation program for older adults may provide support for the allocation of more hospital resources in delirium prevention and establishment of a formal Hospital Elder Life Program1in this institution.
- This research aims to investigate: •If the implementation of a visitation program is feasible at this hospital •Volunteer experience with the program.
