Study Summary
Hospitalized patients and their families are often unprepared regarding end-of-life care. Even patients with high risk of mortality within the index admission or 30 days after admission often do not have clearly defined goals of care. This lack of clarity can create difficult scenarios for patients, their families, and care providers. Lack of communication and documentation of these goals can lead to unnecessary tests, procedures, and readmissions. By creating advanced care planning education for the hospital medicine department, a standardized note template, and EMR utilization for storage and reference of patient's goals of care documentation we aim to facilitate the conveyance of patient's wishes/preferences across different care providers and across separate encounters within the healthcare system. For this study, we will use a pre-post study design to evaluate the implementation of this quality improvement intervention.
