RCT of Default Inpatient PC Consults: Kate Courtright & Scott Halpern

GeriPal

He’s a geriatrician and palliative care doc/researcher in the UCSF Division of Geriatrics. So if you have say two similar patients who go to the ICU with COPD, both are an event, one lives for 27 days and dies in the ICU, the other one gets a palliative care consult and dies four days from hospital admission. Good to see you.
