“There is a large gap between how end-of-life care is currently delivered and how it could be optimally delivered. This award will allow my team to use big data to improve care for the dying. This includes building and implementing prognostic tools to identify who and when individuals should be receiving palliative care. Improving the timely reach of palliative and end-of-life care will reduce unnecessary aggressive care while increasing the quality of remaining life” – Dr. Peter Tanuseputro
