Our group and collaborations have had the following interests: (1) the accuracy and thought processes of clinicians when predicting functional outcomes for Neuro ICU patients with severe diseases such as hemorrhagic stroke; (2) the experiences of family members of patients hospitalized in the Neuro ICU; (3) the decision-making priorities of surrogate decision makers for Neuro ICU patients who lack capacity and who are seriously ill; (4) the variability across US hospitals regarding how decisions to prolong care versus pursue comfort care for Neuro ICU patients are made; and (5) the efficacy of communication training for physicians.
