Abstract
The issue of generalist versus specialist palliative care is on the minds of healthcare leaders everywhere. We are amid changing demographics of physicians. The industrialization of medicine is well underway in the US and around the developing world. Is it important to identify patients who benefit the most from specialist palliative care, given that it is currently a limited resource? Should we step out of standard practice and redesign palliative care using principles of population management? The COVID pandemic rapidly introduced virtual palliative care consults. Is it a better way to promote wide access to specialty palliative care? Looking forward, should we promote ways to advance primary palliative care and reserve specialty palliative care to patients who will benefit most from this level of care? These questions, and others, are considered in this transcribed discussion between leading physicians in the field.
