57 Background: Capacity limits in Ontario, Canada, resulted in long waits and out-of-country care for hematopoietic cell therapy (HCT) and inconsistent access for acute leukemia (AL) patients. A multi-pronged system improvement approach was implemented to ensure high quality care as close to home as possible. Methods: Robust forecasting models and physician workload benchmarks were developed to quantify needs and drive health human resource and capital planning. Clinical and organizational guidelines were developed for new models of care, pathology and laboratory medicine services, and networks of care. Funding models were introduced to support care needs and service models. A comprehensive measurement strategy, including patient reported experience measures, was developed. Results: Six services sites providing HCT and AL care are networked with four AL sites and three supporting sites. Capital expansion projects have been completed and others continue. Two biomarker reference centers were established to serve as quality leads and ensure timely testing. Average turnaround time is 12 days for cytogenetic testing. 19 additional physician specialists and 5 additional fellowships were approved for allocation across Ontario. Three nurse practitioners participated in mentorship programs. Access has improved and wait times are monitored. In 2018 there were 736 autologous and 357 allogeneic transplants done vs 396 and 159 respectively in 2014. 43 patients were referred out of country in 2016 compared with two in 2018, with a median wait of 70 days from AL remission to transplant in 2018. Nine (of 14) regional cancer centers offer outpatient AL consolidation. Patient experience was highest in treatment planning, physical comfort and patient preferences. Conclusions: A multi-pronged approach to planning, funding and quality assurance resulted in measureable increased capacity and high quality care closer to home.

Abstract. Patients with advanced COPD have a high symptom burden that is often multidimensional. Identification of patients who might benefit from palliative care through validated identification tools, multidimensional symptom management, and timely discussion of advance planning are elements of a palliative care approach for these patients and their families. Coordination among stakeholders providing care and support to these patients is central to ensuring high-quality care and meeting all of their needs.
