Equity in Using Artificial Intelligence Mortality Predictions to Target Goals of Care Documentation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are increasingly used to target patients with elevated mortality risk scores for goals-of-care (GOC) conversations.

Objective

To evaluate the association between the presence or absence of AI-generated mortality risk scores with GOC documentation.

Design

Retrospective cross-sectional study at one large academic medical center between July 2021 and December 2022.

Participants

Hospitalized adult patients with AI-defined Serious Illness Risk Indicator (SIRI) scores indicating > 30% 90-day mortality risk (defined as "elevated" SIRI) or no SIRI scores due to insufficient data.

Intervention

A targeted intervention to increase GOC documentation for patients with AI-generated scores predicting elevated risk of m
