New strategy makes palliative care more accessible to patients with chronic illnesses

Ordering a palliative care consultation by "default" – via an automatic order programmed into the electronic medical record that doctors may cancel if they choose – is an effective strategy to give more hospitalized patients the opportunity to benefit from palliative care, and sooner, according to a new study led by researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.
