We did another nudging trial where the deep default was for default palliative care consultations for high risk patients, and it significantly increased individuals who were receiving palliative care. We tested two different nudges individually and then we combined them. Their family members want them to get out of the hospital sooner.

This is my early father’s day gift from the family.

As somebody who works in a nursing home, I can barely read a nursing home note anymore because if it’s on electronic medical record, it’s usually a bunch of check boxes, several pages. Mike: Electronic record keeping, Eric, is the government’s gift to defense attorneys. It’s just these clicks.

And then we started pushing a lot more surveys electronically to patients, which, of course, has its challenges, because not everyone’s as tech savvy as, you know, our highly educated patients who have access to technology.
