A Novel Use of Peer Coaching to Teach Primary Palliative Care Skills : Coaching Consultation
(2017) In Journal of Pain and Symptom Management 54(4). p.578-582- Abstract
BACKGROUND: We aim to address palliative care workforce shortages by teaching clinicians how to provide primary palliative care through peer coaching.
INTERVENTION: We offered peer coaching to internal medicine residents and hospitalists (attendings, nurse practioners, and physician assistants).
MEASURES: An audit of peer coaching encounters and coachee feedback to better understand the applicability of peer coaching in the inpatient setting to teach primary palliative care.
OUTCOMES: Residents and hospitalist attendings participated in peer coaching for a broad range of palliative care-related questions about pain and symptom management (44%), communication (34%), and hospice (22%). Clinicians billed for 68% of... (More)

INTERVENTION: We offered peer coaching to internal medicine residents and hospitalists (attendings, nurse practioners, and physician assistants).

OUTCOMES: Residents and hospitalist attendings participated in peer coaching for a broad range of palliative care-related questions about pain and symptom management (44%), communication (34%), and hospice (22%). Clinicians billed for 68% of encounters using a time-based billing model. Content analysis of coachee feedback identified that the most useful elements of coaching are easy access to expertise, tailored teaching, and being in partnership.
CONCLUSION/LESSONS LEARNED: Peer coaching can be provided in the inpatient setting to teach primary palliative care and potentially extend the palliative care work force.
