We would like to congratulate a team of Palliative Care and Oncology practitioners on a quality of life project that utilised the IPOS.

They are an interdisciplinary team of Palliative Care and Oncology practitioners from a Veterans hospital in the United States and collaborated to determine if enrolment in concurrent care improved quality of life for hospice enrolees or their caregivers.

IPOS was used to assess quality of life measures for patients, and the team are currently working on submission of a paper with their results.

The team members are:

Dr. Seema Limaye, MD

Dr. Abigail Silva, PhD

Alexi Vahlkamp, LCSW

Amanda Bowers, LCSW

Virginia Bove, LCSW

Denise Schalk, NP
