** Hi Julie, is this something new? because previous instructions, as per "comfort care", were that we were only to enter comfort care in the tmp if on admission the patient was deemed comfort care right from the onset. The patient may or may not be under the palliative service. These new instructions are quite different than the old instructions, as patients can be under the palliative service but NOT necessarily be comfort care. Also do the new instructions apply to anytime during or after admission? or just at the time of admission? Thanks!
