Study process flow for palliative connect intervention. Each weekday, a Palliative Connect score (predicted risk of death within 6 months) was calculated for patients on hospital day 2. Patients with a score ≥ 0.3 populated a web-based user interface list in order from highest to lowest risk (actual prediction not shown). The palliative care team’s triage nurse called the primary clinicians of patients in descending order to offer an opt-out of the triggered consult until the maximum of two consults were accepted. Remaining patients were carried over on the list each day until they were offered a triggered consult, or they were discharged or transferred to another service. Consults requested per usual care were accepted. Palliative care clinicians and hospitalists completed surveys and clinical data was obtained from the clinical data warehouse.

It is originally poor, therefore, increasing the resolution will not solve the quality problem. We suggest that you provide us the original format. We prefer replacement figures containing vector/editable objects rather than embedded images. Preferred file formats are eps, ai, tiff and pdf.fully vectorized .eps files attached along with original powerpoint figure file
