So like as an example, in New York State, if someone has no healthcare proxy that they’ve designated, there is a legal structure by which we can assign a surrogate, whereas other states don’t have that same structure. Let’s say they’re in the ICU now on a ventilator. So there’s no healthcare surrogate.

Certainly SOME of those avoided hospitalizations, CPR, and ICU stays were due to documentation of those orders in the POLST. Because we haven’t done our job to document the value of what we’re doing. And I use that as that documentation about what they want, recognizing that not everybody does that.

Missouri set a very high bar, explicit written documentation that applies to this specific circumstance, which the Cruzan’s eventually cleared.

What we did was ask clinicians earlier in the ICU stay for very sick patients to document prognosis, and for those who they thought would survive, to document six-month functional prognosis. And that helped them focus on that instead of, say, the blood pressure, the vasopressors or the ventilator settings that day. Eric: Okay.

And Lauren Ferrante has found in a study published in JAMA Internal Medicine that trajectories of disability in the year prior to ICU admission were highly predictive of disability post-ICU, on the same order of magnitude as mechanical ventilation. Where she has each of the age categories and you see the prevalence of frailty increasing.
