Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Hypothesis 1: It is feasible to recruit and randomize newly admitted elderly subjects to each of the ACP modalities.
A.2. Aim 2: To compare the care preferences for their primary goal of care (i.e., life-prolonging care, limited care, or comfort care) among 101 subjects randomized to video vs. verbal narrative intervention for ACP.
Hypothesis 2: Subjects randomized to the video intervention will be significantly more likely to opt for comfort care (vs. life-prolonging or limited care) as the primary goal of care compared to those randomized to the verbal narrative.
A.3. Aim 3: To compare knowledge assessment of the Goals of Care of 101 subjects randomized to video vs. verbal narrative intervention for ACP.
Hypothesis 3: When compared to subjects randomized to the verbal narrative arm, subjects in the video group will have higher knowledge assessment scores when asked questions regarding their understanding of the Goals of Care.
