Malaz: One day I was in internal medicine residency and I had to take care of a patient who was admitted from a nursing home with dementia.

And if we don’t do it now, we’re gonna be talking about this 20 years from now, and all of us are going, we’ll be sitting in our, you know, skilled nursing home, talking to each other about it. Like, Boy, wish I was home. But but yeah, I think that now is the time that we can actually affect this change.

And so I became more interested in what are the outcomes of patients with cancer when they do go to a nursing facility? Why do we not have more palliative care access in nursing homes?

But I do think POLST, which I conceptualize as an advance care planning tool, really sits in between those worlds of decisions that are relevant for the present versus the few future.

In a separate study in Chest , Lauren found pre-ICU frailty was associated with post-ICU disability and new nursing home admission.

or too much ancient history, but you know, like, like a lot of nurses, when I became an RN, I was told you gotta work in acute care.
