About the study

This project will develop and test a novel clinical decision support tool (CDS) that encourages timely referral to palliative care for people hospitalized with heart failure. This intervention will incorporate an existing, validated 1-year mortality risk model into a CDS to deliver prognostic information and evidence-based decision support at the point of care. Thus, this research may lead to improved care-concordant and goal-directed care for people with heart failure.
