Official title
Impact of an Embedded Palliative Care and Hospice Practitioner in the Medical ICU
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The goal of this study is to investigate whether embedding a hospice and palliative care practitioner within a medical intensive care unit will improve patient outcomes and healthcare usage. The practitioner will work solely within the medical intensive care units and offer timely as well as proactive consultations based on clinical criteria and estimated mortality risk. The study team will compare patients seen by the practitioner to patients in an adjacent ICU and historical patients to determine whether patient care is improved by this intervention.
