Nouri and Colleagues Compare Virtual vs. In-Person Palliative Care Outcomes

Drs. Sarah Nouri, Steven Pantilat, Christine Ritchie, Ying Shi, David O’Riordan, John Boscardin, Courtney Lyles, and Rebecca Sudore recently published a study in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management titled “Impact of Virtual vs. In-Person Palliative Care on Symptom Burden: A Multisite Cohort Study.” The article examines differences in patient symptom burden between virtual and in-person palliative care across multiple sites, offering insight into how care delivery modality may influence patient outcomes. The findings highlight important considerations for optimizing palliative care models, particularly as virtual care continues to expand.
