Join Dr. Mary Lynn McPherson as she interviews three Seasons Hospice physicians about the Past, Present and Future of Hospice and Palliative Care.

Isolation is tough on everyone. People are tired. Many of us feel like we're running an ultramarathon, and we have no idea where the end lies.   During this time, people who receive a six-month prognosis know they won't outlive the pandemic. That realization has led many hospice professionals to redouble their efforts.   We have vital work to do.   In this episode of NetSmart, Jason Banks, vice president of post acute care for Netsmart talks with Balu Natarajan, M.D., chief medical officer with Seasons Hospice and Palliative Care.   Jason and Balu discussed:   - How COVID has impacted the way hospice and palliative care professionals work in senior living commuities   - Ways we can improve hospice service during the pandemic   - The future of hospice and palliative care in senior living communities   - How the average person can help serve hospice staff during COVID   This discussion with Dr. Balu Natarajan was taken from our show Netsmart Care Threads.

Seasons Hospice & Palliative Care engenders hope in the lives of its patients and their family members. A community-based organization, Seasons Hopsice is on an ongoing mission to find creative solutions which add quality to life. Through the firm belief that individuals and families are the experts in their own care, we focus on the patient and family experience and empowerment.Our GuestBalu Natarajan, M.D. is a graduate of Northwestern University Medical School and has been the Chief Medical Officer of Seasons Hospice since 2005. He served in various capacities for Seasons from 2000 until 2005, including holding the position of Medical Director of the Illinois program.Board-certified in internal medicine, hospice and palliative care, and sports medicine, Dr. Natarajan has authored book chapters and articles in peer-reviewed journals. He has also lectured across the United States and around the world, including at the Annual Meeting of the American College of Physicians. He won the Scripps Howard National Spelling Bee in 1985.Here are the highlights of our conversation with our guest:Dr. Natarajan loves helping people and he learned early in his career that he is one of those physicians who can inspire other physicians to be better or to improve their workday to be able to do more for people. His current role in Seasons Hospice allows him to support 4700 patients a day through hundreds of physicians, hospice aids, social workers, nurses, chaplains and other team members who work together. He loved technology as he was growing up and thought he would be doing computer or software work. When he was 16, he went to a science show and one of the sessions featured a cardiologist who passed around an artificial heart after talking to them about it. He was hooked to science the moment he held that heart in his hand.His accidental journey to Hospice started when he needed a job for a year when his wife needed to go somewhere for school. He became a hospitalist for a year taking care of hospitalized in patients. He found himself referring patients to Hospice then did a talk one night during a team meeting, and it involved from there.Hospice is based in Chicago, Illinois and had just turned 20 years old. They are a joint commissioned Medicare certified hospice and their job is to take care of patients with life expectancy of 6 months or less. They are the largest employer of music therapists across the country and have a foundation which supports their patients non-medical needs. The communities they serve are generally urban and sub-urban markets. They serve 4700 patients a day in 29 cities from coast to coast.Dr. Natarajan’s focus is patient experience and he has all the support of all the doctors as well as the Nursing and Education and Quality Support of Care departments. His team takes this incredibly seriously and what they have been working on right now is getting the right person to the right patient at the right time, given the backdrop of short length of stay. Basically, this pertains to how they can serve to those who are acutely in need who just came into the program, and at the same time, getting to the people that they have been taken care of for months now. It’s not an easy thing to do and they are hoping that technology can have a huge impact on their ability to do this.He believes that the areas where technology can really make an impact on in their field is acuity scale, patient perceptions and developing a tool which can take all the triages and determine which patients need to be prioritized overlaid with geography. The challenges they are encountering right now in applying technology include connectivity (which is the biggest), rules and regulations which clarify which is a visit or not, and other logistical, legal and technological barriers.

Listen NowOf the two and a half million Americans that die annually, less than half, or 45%, die under hospice care. About one-third of these deaths are cancer related the remainder are moreover from heart and lung disease and dementia.  Of the over 5,000 hospice providers nearly two-thirds are for profit.  Over 80% of all hospice care is paid for by Medicare.  While hospice care is ever-increasingly becoming accepted by the public, the program's benefits are compromised largely due to the fact that over one-third of hospice enrolled decedents were enrolled in the program for too short a period of time, or less than seven days.  During this 21 minute podcast, Dr. Doblin discusses why he became a hospice physician, what makes for good hospice care, why the benefit remains under-utilized, what constitutes a "good death," how might hospice and palliative care be improved and how these services might better fit  in ever-evolving changes in the health care industry.     Dr. Bruce H. Doblin is currently a Physician in the Department of Internal Medicine at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.  He also serves as an Instructor of Clinical Medicine-Internal Medicine at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.  Previously, Dr. Doblin served for over ten years as the Medical Director for Seasons Hospice and Palliative Care in Chicago.  Dr. Doblin earned his BA in Economics at Williams College and his MD and Masters in Public Health from Northwestern University.  He completed fellowship training at UCLA in health services research and at the University of Chicago in Clinical Medical Ethics.
