This research study is a single arm pilot feasibility study, which is the first-time investigators are examining this care at home intervention in patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. The research study procedures include screening for eligibility, questionnaires, remote patient monitoring (e.g. patient-reported symptoms, home monitored vital signs) and hospital care at home (e.g. providing maximal supportive care to to address and manage patients' symptoms) and structured communications oncology clinicians to optimize end of life care for patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. Participants will include 3 groups: 1) Enrolled patients with advanced hematologic malignancies receiving the end of life (EOL) care at home intervention; 2) caregivers of these patients; and 3) oncology clinicians caring for these patients. Participants will be in this research study for approximately six months after consent. It is expected that about 30 patients, 30 caregivers, and 15 oncology clinicians will take part in this research study. Medically Home company is supporting this research study by providing funding.
