Brief Title: A Telehealth Advance Care Planning Intervention for Older Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndrome
Official Title: A Telehealth Advance Care Planning Intervention for Older Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndrome
Study ID: NCT04745676
Brief Summary: This is a pilot study to evaluate the usability and feasibility of a telehealth-delivered advance care planning intervention among 20 older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), their caregivers, and oncologists.
Detailed Description: Older adults with AMLamd MDS are more likely to receive aggressive care and less likely to utilize hospice at the end-of-life. Advance care planning (ACP) intervention delivered through telehealth may improve patient-reported outcomes and end-of-life care in this population. This pilot study seeks to evaluate the usability and feasibility of a telehealth-delivered advance care planning intervention. We will adapt the Serious Illness Care Program.
