PICSI-H Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: EHR-based Clinician JumpstartExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The EHR-based Jumpstart Guide will be developed by extracting data from the EHR using automated methods with both inpatient and outpatient notes (e.g., progress notes, specialty consult notes, alerts and care plans) preceding the current hospitalization. It will summarize the presence/absence of POLST, advance directives and DPOA documentation and patients' code status.
Group II: Usual CareActive Control1 Intervention
The clinicians (hospital teams) for patients in the control group will not receive Jumpstart guides. These subjects will receive usual care.
