Brief Summary: A randomized controlled trial of a structured conversation between clinicians and patientssurrogates to facilitate shared decision-making for intensive care use in seriously ill older adults being admitted to the intensive care unit from the emergency department
Detailed Description: A randomized controlled trial of a structured conversation between clinicians and patientssurrogates to facilitate shared decision-making for intensive care use ie Time-Limited Trial TLT in seriously ill older adults being admitted to the intensive care unit from the emergency department ED

The goal is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of TLT initiated in the ED for seriously ill older adults who are starting intensive care

The main questions it aims to answer are

Is TLT feasible to be conducted by trained ED clinicians
Do patients or their surrogates find TLT acceptable in understanding and respecting their end-of-life care preferences

Participants will be

Attending physicians resident physicians or mid-level providers working in the ED who are willing to be randomized to become the study interventionists to conduct TLT conversations
Seriously ill older adults receiving intensive care in the ED

Researchers will compare clinicians using TLT with those providing usual care to see if TLT leads to improved patient-centered decision-making and better alignment with patients end-of-life care preferences
