 The study aimed to pilot a structured protocol for categorizing severity of COVID-19 ICU admissions and collaborating with the Palliative Interdisciplinary Team to assess physical, spiritual and psychosocial needs. The protocol was implemented by color-coding new ICU consults into clinical severity categories during daily interdisciplinary rounds. Palliative Medicine consults were placed on all COVID-19 positive patients admitted to the ICU between March 29, 2020 and May 1, 2020. A retrospective chart review was performed to analyze the effect of palliative care consultation on completion of goals of care conversations and the life-sustaining treatment document. The results showed that standardizing palliative care consultation on all COVID-19 positive ICU admissions subjectively alleviated the burden on ICU providers and staff resulted in increased documentation of patient goals of care preferences slash LSTs, facilitated clinical updates to family members, and better distributed clinical burden among palliative team members.
