Surprise Question in End of Life (SeQuEL) Care and the Effect of Prompting Palliative Care Consultation: End-Stage Liver Disease

When a patient is randomized to the Palliative Care Consultation Prompt Group, a clinical decision support tool in the electronic health record will inform the treating clinician of the patient's serious illness and the results of the Surprise Question and prompt the treating clinician to consider a palliative care consultation. If the treating clinician feels a palliative care consultation would be indicated for the patient, the clinical decision support tool will facilitate the placement of a palliative care consultation by the treating clinician. If the treating clinician feels that a palliative care consultation would not be indicated, then the clinical decision support will record a reason it is not indicated.
