Summary
This study tests whether electronic health record alerts can help more seriously ill hospital patients get palliative care. About 18,000 adults at 9 hospitals will be included. The alerts nudge doctors to order a palliative care consult, and researchers will see if this improves care and reduces differences in who gets help.
