Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of adding a palliative care intervention for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) to current standard of care.

Palliative care is comprehensive, coordinated interdisciplinary care for patients and families facing a potentially life-threatening illness. This consists of specially trained teams of professionals including physicians, nurses, social workers, and chaplains that provide care and support in inpatient and outpatient settings. While the specific assistance and support provided by the Palliative Care Service depends on individual patient and family needs and preferences, it may include:

1. Pain and symptom management
2. Psychosocial and spiritual support
3. Assistance with treatment choices
4. Help in planning for care in the community
