Description
Chris Martin and co-authors set out a trial of a tool for care goal talks in a 2025 protocol. Talks about goals of care help older patients in hospital state what treatment fits their values. The tool, ASKmeGOC, backs nurse led talks with patients and their chosen decision partners.
The trial will enroll all patients aged 80 and up at one center, split at random into tool or usual talk arms. Assessors who score outcomes will not know the arm. Main gauges count days in intensive care plus use of breathing and dialysis support. The team also hopes for fewer undocumented code status choices and lower hospital costs in the tool arm.
