Outcomes for Hospitalized Patients with Comfort Measures Only Orders
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to investigate the impact of specialty palliative consults (SPC) and documented goals of care conversations (GOCC) on in-hospital mortality and discharge outcomes for patients with comfort measures only (CMO) orders. Their findings revealed that SPC were linked to lower in-hospital mortality and higher rates of hospice discharge, while documented GOCC were associated with the opposite outcomes. The study suggests a need for further research to understand why SPC, rather than GOCC, yielded these results.
