Translating Data Science to Palliative Care
Translating Data Science to Palliative Care Practice for Persons Living With Dementia
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 18 Nov 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This research study is intended to 1) better understand seriously ill adults' and their family care partners' (FCP), particularly for persons living with dementia (PLwD), barriers to accepting community-based palliative care (CBPC); 2) develop an intervention to address barriers; and 3) pilot test whether the intervention has an impact on CBPC uptake. The intervention will consist of 1) a set of informational material describing the benefits of CBPC for the CBPC team to use when presenting CBPC to members of a Medicare Advantage plan and their FCP; and 2) processes for tailoring information delivery so that eligible members and their FCP receive information about CBPC that reflects their individualized risk as identified by the Medicare Advantage program's validated 12-month mortality risk algorithm. The clinical trial portion of the study refers to the pilot test (Aim 3 as described below).
