A Pragmatic Trial of an Active Choice Nudge for Generalist or Specialist Palliative Care for Seriously Ill Inpatients

Palliative Care Clinical Trial

Official title:
A Pragmatic Trial of an Active Choice Nudge for Generalist or Specialist Palliative Care for Seriously Ill Inpatients: The Palliative Connect Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

This stepped-wedge, cluster-randomized pragmatic trial among six hospitals at University of Pennsylvania Health System will test a behavioral intervention embedded within the electronic health record that nudges hospital clinicians to either provide palliative care (PC) themselves (generalist PC) or consult specialists (specialty PC) for inpatients at high risk of death within 6 months. The trial will evaluate the intervention's effect compared to usual care on the primary outcome of hospital-free days through 6 months, and other patient-centered, clinical, and economic outcomes. The trial also includes an embedded mixed methods study to understand clinician and hospital contextual factors that influence the intervention's uptake.
