A Validated EMR-Based Algorithm to Detect and Quantify Palliative Care Needs in Seriously Ill Hospitalized Patients

1. Participants will describe how population-based methods to systematically identify palliative care need make access to palliative care services more equitable by mitigating clinician bias, ensure limited resources are provided to those most likely to benefit, and allow programs to quantify population need to argue for additional resources.2. Participants will analyze the criteria included in our validated algorithm, identify those criteria that can be directly applied in their own clinical setting, and propose changes to criteria that require tailoring to maximize their utility in their local environment.
