Background: As chronic illnesses are claiming majority of deaths in United States, it is very important that we identify patients with chronic illnesses who have shortened life expectancy and prioritize their needs for palliative care. The different death trajectories of chronic illnesses make it difficult to prognosticate such patients. Available prognostication tools, both disease specific […]

Background: Tobacco use remains the leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality in the United States. Hospitalization is known to be an opportune time to initiate cessation interventions, and interventions with sustained postdischarge contact may increase the relative likelihood of cessation by 65% compared to usual care. Additionally, compared to physicians and nursing staff, clinical […]

Background: Hospital discharge is a vulnerable moment in healthcare delivery that impacts patient safety and experience. Improving this care transition necessitates a focus on the most error-prone and potentially hazardous parts of the process, including discharge logistics (e.g., transportation), medication safety, follow-up plans, and contingency planning. Many interventions have been investigated to improve discharge processes; […]
