"It is like heart failure. It is chronic ... and it will kill you": a qualitative analysis of burnout among hospice and palliative care clinicians.
This study explored burnout among palliative care clinicians, specifically their experiences with burnout, their perceived sources of burnout, and potential individual, interpersonal, organizational, and policy-level solutions to address burnout. Common sources of burnout included increasing workload, tensions between nonspecialists and palliative care specialists, and regulatory issues. Participants proposed antiburnout solutions, including promoting the provision of generalist palliative care, frequent rotations on-and-off service, and organizational support for self-care.

Implementation and impact of patient lay navigator-led advance care planning conversations.
Advance care planning (ACP) improves alignment between patient preferences for life-sustaining treatment and care received at end of life (EOL). This study evaluated implementation of lay navigator-led ACP and concluded that a navigator-led ACP program was feasible and may be associated with lower rates of resource utilization near EOL.
