Abstract: | The purpose of this translation of research into practice (TRIP) project was to to determine the impact of a multidisciplinary education-consultation intervention to reduce percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube placement in patients with terminal-stage dementia at a single urban hospital in a city characterized by numerous health care transitions. We attempted a "just-in-time" approach to educate busy clinicians through explicit recommendations offered during routine and requested consultation. The project results showed that the intervention had a modest positive clinical impact. |
