The Original Investigation titled “Intervention to Promote Communication About Goals of Care for Hospitalized Patients With Serious Illness: A Randomized Clinical Trial,”1 published in the May 21, 2023, issue of JAMA, was corrected to fix incorrect text in the second full paragraph in the Discussion section. The last 2 sentences should have been “Notably, both the usual care proportion of patients with documented goals-of-care discussions and the observed intervention effect size differed between the current trial and the previous outpatient RCT.7 These may be due to differences in implementation of the intervention (clinician-facing only in the current RCT vs patient- and clinician-facing in the outpatient RCT7), differences in serious illness communication between outpatient and inpatient clinical settings, or differences in the definition and measurement of the primary outcome.” This article was corrected online.
