What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- In order to systematically improve code status communication and documentation while clarifying how providers understand code status decisions, we propose the Choice of Diction's Effect Electronic Measures of Resuscitation Study Inpatient (CODE-EMRS.I) with 3 aims: Aim 1 - Determine rate of patient utilization of code status invitation (research) via the Portal (Hypothesis 1: Participants with an existing Portal are more likely to participate in research than new signups); Aim 2 - Evaluate different phrasings in code status prompts with and without death language (Hypothesis 2: Participants are more likely to pick no code with death language than without); Aim 3 - Determine how objective data drives physician agreement on code status decision (Hypothesis 3: Physicians are more likely to disagree with full code decisions for poor GO-FAR, but not CCI). Participants will fill out all study questionnaires electronically, but have options within these to ask to speak to a study physician/their own physician for clarification.
