I cant do the primary thing Ive been trained to do: ABC, ABC, ABCs. Most emergency providers wanted to do the right thing for seriously ill patients, but they didnt have the knowledge, skills, or experience to do it. They got training in Vital Talk and ELNEC.

Many were community hospitals. We’re going to be talking about a JAMA IM paper that just came out not too long ago, a nudging clinicians promote serious illness communication for critically ill patients.

Joe: Right.
