In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Checklist-guided shared decision-making for Code Status Discussions With Medical In-patients. Completed, enrolled 2,663 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This cluster-randomized, multicenter trial is designed to investigate the effect of checklist-guided shared decision-making including decision aids and communication of expected outcome on patients' decision regarding their code status, and at the same time, if it improves decision-making quality as judged by patient's decisional comfort, patient knowledge and involvement in decision-making and patient satisfaction. Patients in whom resuscitation is considered as futile will be treated separately in an ancillary project. In these patients a checklist to communicate the futility and the medical consequences will be used.
