Abstract

The article presents a study on an intervention to increase code status conversations for emergency department patients aged 75 years and above being admitted to the hospital. Topics discussed include the objectives of the study, details on the study's participants, and the association of a teaching intervention combined with email reminders with increases in documented code status discussions and do-not-attempt-resuscitation code status for the patients.
