At one end of the spectrum you can provide decision makers with information that doesn’t work very well in most contexts. 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.

I know that from Sarguni, we have some population level data, but are there any individual tools that you could use like an e-prognosis for function for hospitalized older adults? And then you have a problem with missing data always based on utilization patterns and trying to identify what that might look like. Are there any tools?

It’s also what are the pieces of information we’re bringing to the table when we start providing care for residents? Those are evidence-based or evidence-informed tools that have been in practice.

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. The emergency physician knows it’s not new information. That’s not news to us.

After all, the labeling is intended to do exactly that: it informs patients and prescribers of the risks to ensure the product is used effectively and in a manner that mitigates risks, according to FDA’s understanding of the relevant science.

Eric: So Scott, two questions for you then is since this is aimed, POLST is people with limited life expectancy, we also have no randomized control trials of CPR of individuals in this population.

They need, they need some, a little bit of information and probably a little more than that, what we like to call an edge. Because we know information provision, I think it was the support trial, even giving them information about poor prognoses didn’t change their practice. And none of our work does that.

And so we worked closely with a community advisory group who, through focus groups, told us how it was that black and white individuals with serious illness had wanted to be treated. And then we incorporated that information into the consultation process. The black individuals wanted to have a separate one from the white individuals.

It sets space between us and the individuals we’re trying to take care of.

And we interestingly did not really see any change in function in those individuals, which has somewhat been reported in some places elsewhere, which makes one wonder if they maybe weren’t accounting for serious illness in some of those populations.

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. There was a difference, though, in hospice utilization, right? Can someone describe for me what a stepped model is? Jennifer 04:25 I can take that on. That is correct.
