A Prospective Intervention to Increase Goals of Care Conversations with Hospitalized Patients Suffering Severe Stroke (Sci204)
1. Through analyzing the process and results of an intervention to increase documented goals-of-care conversations, participants will self-report the ability to apply lessons learned to their clinical practice.2. Participants will self-report the ability to define goals-of-care conversation domains and the ability to demonstrate and integrate these domains within clinical practice.

Mobility Goals of Care Conversations with Hospitalized Patients Suffering Severe Stroke (Sci239)
1. Using the WHO Functional classification, attendants will understand a mobility goals-of-care conversation, its prevalence, associated predictors, interventions, and outcomes.2. The attendant will be able to note similarities and differences between the large stroke population and the propensity-matched groups.

Sometimes a Difficult Decision to Swallow: Ethical Dilemmas When Patients with Dysphagia who Lack Capacity Want to Eat
Mr. J is an 82-year-old retired farmer with a preexisting diagnosis of moderate vascular dementia who recently suffered a stroke resulting in a new diagnosis of dysphagia and a loss of complex decision-making capacity. He is admitted to a hospital rehabilitation unit for a course of speech, physical and occupational therapy. His wife, Mrs. J, is his surrogate and has made clear that the couple's shared goals of care are for him to regain as much function as possible so he can return to his own home.

Improving Access to Specialist Palliative Care for Patients with Catastrophic Strokes: A Quality Improvement Project to Trigger Inpatient Palliative Care Consultations (QI730)
The American Stroke Association strongly recommends palliative care for patients hospitalized with catastrophic strokes to improve shared decision-making and relieve suffering. An automatic trigger to consider a consult for these patients may improve access to palliative care. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is a good predictor of short- and long-term outcomes and high scores (>= 20) are associated with poorer prognosis.

Outpatient Cardiac Palliative Care Reduces Healthcare Utilization (RP524)
The American Heart Association and American Stroke Association have put forth policy statements recommending early and continuous access to palliative care for patients with advanced heart disease. Early integration of palliative care has been proven to improve the quality of life of patients with advanced heart failure. Other studies have suggested that palliative care in general has cost savings to hospital systems.

This Stroke Changed My Life and I Need Help: Social Media Resources for Bilingual Caregivers of Stroke Victims (S753)
Stroke remains a leading cause of long-term disability and burdened quality of life not only for stroke survivors with remaining disability (SSRDs) but also for the informal caregivers (ICGs) who care for them. Approximately 50% of SSRDs will require ICG hands-on support, precluding them from leaving home. With current technology, social media might be the only way for ICG to gain training/access support. What resources are available out there for ICGs of SSRDs?

Mechanical thrombectomy for Trousseau syndrome in a terminally ill cancer patient
Trousseau syndrome was first described by Armand Trousseau in 1865 and is characterized by hypercoagulation resulting from malignant tumors. This complication can markedly impact quality of life (QOL). This is the first report of a terminally ill patient who developed large-vessel occlusion stroke from Trousseau syndrome and underwent mechanical thrombectomy. A 75-year-old woman presented with stage IV ovarian cancer. Goals of care were transitioned to palliative care. The patient was hospitalized with vertebral compression fracture, and suddenly developed right hemiparesis and total aphasia during admission.
