Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Q1. Does the provision of palliative care to heart failure patients yield higher quality of life, increased symptom management, or reduced depression compared to heart failure patients not receiving palliative care?
Q2. Does the provision of palliative care to heart failure patients result in differential use of medical services (lower hospital days and readmission) compared to heart failure patients not receiving systematic palliative care?

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Palliative Care Consultation
Participant will get one palliative care consultation while in the hospital. The participants desire for subsequent palliative care visits will be determined and mutually agreed upon at the initial consultation.
Palliative Care Consultation
Intervention patient would receive an inpatient palliative care consultation to focus on comprehensive symptom assessment, create goals of care/treatment plan which include recommendations and referrals.
Control
Usual care for HF patient which may include a palliative care consult if ordered by treating physician.
Control
The control group would receive usual care and could receive a palliative consult if ordered by the treating provider
