ASH 2025 | Integrating palliative care in a comprehensive lifespan sickle cell center

In this video, Crawford Strunk, MD, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH, discusses the integration of palliative care in a comprehensive lifespan sickle cell disease (SCD) center, highlighting its impact on inpatient length of stay. Dr Strunk notes that the implementation of a quality improvement project, which included both palliative care and hematology consultations, resulted in a significant reduction in length of stay for adult patients, from an average of 8-10 days to 3.2 days. This interview took place at the 67th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in Orlando, FL.
