Summary

In prior work, this research team developed a telehealth primary care model (TIPC), designed in close partnership with patients and clinicians to address a widespread increase in telehealth use during the COVID-19 pandemic. Researchers will test the TIPC intervention to assess palliative care (PC) support for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) among a population of urban-dwelling, African American (AA) persons over the course of 15 months.

The aims of this study are to 1) evaluate patient, caregiver, and clinical team perspectives of feasibility and acceptability of the TIPC model with urban-dwelling AAs with advanced COPD, and 2) explore the impact of TIPC intervention on knowledge and completion of advanced care planning (ACP) and on hospice and healthcare utilization patterns in the target population, as well as on additional quality of life (QOL) endpoints, and compare these between individuals participating in the intervention group and control group.

Telehealth Integrated Primary Care (TIPC)

The TIPC model of intervention incorporates video visits across research clinicians and patients' existing care clinicians for more synergized and accessible care provision for a given clinical indication. The first TIPC visit will center around the patient setting care goals for themselves and their caregiver with the help of a palliative care physician. The second TIPC visit will focus on assessing goal attainment and also close the care loop between their existing care team, a research-appointed palliative care team, and their involvement in our study.
