The Importance of Code Conversations in End-of-Life Care

The PULSE program encourages patients to talk about end-of-life decisions with their primary care providers prior to a crisis situation happening. A recent development that I'm jazzed about is an outcome prediction tool that was recently published in JAMA Internal Medicine called the GO FAR tool. Maybe GO FAR or another prediction tool will help us to change that code conversation and give patients a reasonable expectation of their chances of recovering from a code.
