And I think as we were talking earlier, when we think about the field of palliative care, hospice is a part of that, but it isn't all of it.
When you think about VIN diagrams, those advanced directives are a part of a much larger, broader process.
Yeah.
So Terry Freed has done a lot of work thinking about readiness and things like that for people who are ready to engage in advanced care planning.
And I think we found the same thing just like for, say, smoking cessation or getting engaged in an exercise program.
People think about things for a while, they prepare, and then they're actually ready for action.
And it's the same thing with advanced care planning.
You know, I like to sort of think about, you know, the idea that you're not just going to sort of hit the double diamond, like run on your first time on a set of skis.
And it's the same thing with advanced care planning.
You need some help and some preparation, which is what our prepareforyourcare.org website does, and that it helps people wherever they are sort of jump into that process.
Yeah, well, that was a really exciting trial for us as well.
So we actually conducted that trial in the VA.
It was a randomized trial and it was a comparative efficacy trial, meaning everybody got some form of advanced care planning.
One group got our easy to read advanced directives.
We haven't really talked about that, but they're written at a fifth grade reading level.
They're easy to read.
And the other group got that advance directive, but also prepare.
And then we followed people for six months, and we wanted to know what would happen.
So we found in that trial, and by the way, the thing that was important about that trial is it was patient-facing only, meaning we gave people these tools, and we wanted to know how much bang for our buck could we get by just giving stuff to people.
Mm-hmm.
