Stopped: Study enrollment was terminated due to inability to recruit participants
This study will test the effectiveness of integrating an evidence-based model of home-based palliative (HBPC) within primary care clinics on patient and caregiver outcomes. The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial, randomizing 1,155 seriously ill patients (and approximately 884 family caregivers) who receive primary care from 30-40 regional accountable care organizations (ACOs) in California to one of two study groups: HBPC or enhanced usual care (EUC). Follow-up data will be collected via telephone surveys with patients at 1- and 2-months and with caregivers at 1- and 2-months, and, as appropriate, following the death of the patient.
