Summary

The study compares early palliative care consultation to standard of care in the medical intensive care unit (ICU). The study will assess if the intervention leads to an increased proportion of clearly delineated goals of care and examine if this intervention leads to decreased healthcare resource utilization such as length of stay, duration of intensive treatments including mechanical ventilation, and hospital re-admissions.
