It was really at the level of the ED across 33 EDs in random order, and then tried to see if we could make a difference in healthcare utilization, primarily the primary outcome was admission to the hospital, acute care admission.

An end-of-life doula is a non-medical support person that provides a longitudinal relationship with aspects of medical, I mean, aspects of companionship, presence, holding space, some logistics, some practical help, decision making perhaps.

And assisted living doesn’t offer the same level of medical supportive services as nursing homes. That services need to be in the building, I think is an important one to talk about because people in nurses nursing homes do have a lot of medical issues.

Disruptive events are medical, surgical. And hospitalization for pneumonia is like a medical event.
