Integrating Supportive Care in Cystic Fibrosis

Patients in the intervention arm of the study will see a SC specialist during regularly-scheduled CF clinic visits; per usual care, these visits should occur on a quarterly basis. Using a structured intervention manual, these visits will span 30-60 minutes each. Each visit will have a specific focus, such as: 1) comprehensive palliative care assessment; 2) symptom assessment and self-management; 3) advance care planning; and, 4) coping and resilience. Patients requiring follow up with SC before the next CF appointment will receive telephone follow up or an extra SC visit at the discretion of the SC provider.
