Defining and Characterizing Inappropriate Goals of Care Designation: A 10-year Retrospective Multicenter ICU Cohort Study
We validated one definition of inappropriate GCD through a large retrospective cohort that can be used as a baseline incidence for future QI endeavors. Through this cohort analysis, a breadth of system opportunities to reduce inappropriate care through optimization of communication, documentation, and stakeholder decision-making processes is described.
