Abstract
Timely palliative care interventions can help to alleviate the distress people experience after diagnosis of an incurable, life-threatening cancer. However, referrals to palliative care are often late and inequities have been described across sociodemographic groups. The Palliative Care Early and Systematic (PaCES)-Automatic study was co-designed with patients and providers. It provides an automatic early palliative care intervention triggered by pre-determined clinical criteria, without the need for formal clinician referral, for automatically offering an early supportive and palliative care (SPC) consultation to all patients newly diagnosed with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
