Summary

This study is testing whether a machine-learning model can help doctors identify children admitted to the hospital for heart problems who might benefit from a palliative care consultation. The model will flag high-risk patients each morning, and doctors will decide whether to refer them. Researchers will compare outcomes before and after the model is used, looking at how quickly palliative care gets involved and whether it improves care planning.
