Gretchen Schwarze like surgery, four things, live longer, feel better, be more functional, make a diagnosis. It would have a CPR section and then it would have a healthcare proxy section. And if we’re evaluated on the wrong things, healthcare is going to go down the drain. So it’s the goals that are important.

Second, Hospice was originally designed for patients with advanced cancer, but the fastest growing admitting diagnosis is dementia.

There’s a Boguts case, a patient with anorexia who utilized medical aid and dying. But some of the nuance I would want to point out is that, like Brent mentioned, first of all, this is not a diagnosis. Like 80 to 90% of patients we see have a psychiatric diagnosis.

So, basically, with a stepped care model, the goal is to tailor care delivery to the patient’s needs while at the same time utilizing less clinician resources.

And I’m worried about all of us as healthcare workers, but particularly… And when I say particularly those in the hospital, because they are just tired.

Eric: And looking back at that time, what do you think the healthcare system could have done to help with that?
