But then once it was open, started seeing a lot of other populations: not just our own hospital population, but a lot more just community members calling with concerns about driving.

So we take that science and we apply it to something that’s very messy and chaotic, like a human being or a community or a population. I think it started off from a need, a hunger in the community.

What happened is we’re in the serious illness care business and so we were busy rolling out our serious illness conversations at Mass General and we were getting resistance, which we expected from oncology and primary care, but then we started getting resistance from the geriatricians.
