Feasibility and Acceptability of Primary Palliative Care Intervention in Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Primary PC - or training HCT clinicians to deliver PC domains as part of routine practice - is an alternative model of supportive care. We have developed Sentinel, a primary PC intervention for HCT clinicians and patients. This study will assess Sentinel's feasibility and acceptability.

Interventions
Primary palliative care
Enrolled patient participants will receive Sentinel prior to and during their hospitalization for HCT. Prior to HCT, a transplant clinician (nurse practitioner - NP) will conduct a focused PC visit to build rapport, manage expectations regarding HCT, review anticipated symptoms, and discuss illness coping strategies. During the HCT hospitalization, HCT physicians and advanced practice providers will incorporate PC domains into their routine care of patients undergoing HCT.
