Early palliative care team consultation
The palliative care team will evaluate the patient and family with the following core palliative care goals in mind: evaluating maternal understanding of their child's diagnosis and eliciting maternal concerns regarding their child's physical symptoms, identifying maternal social support systems and additional life stressors, identifying maternal expectations and hopes for their child's medical care, and assessing maternal fears surrounding their child's diagnosis and medical treatments. Palliative care team support and resources will then be provided in areas of necessity identified for the family. Palliative care team follow up will then be determined based on the level of need identified for each individual study participant.
