List specific aims:  \na) Each one should be specific and focused.  \nb) Each one should test the hypothesis .  \nc) As a whole they should synergize (but not be co-dependent on one another)  \n3.

To characterize current ACP documentation practices and evaluate the sequential impact of several components of the Palliative Care Program, multiple chronic conditions (MCC), and other patient and care team characteristics on ACP documentation .  \nHypothesis 1a . The staged implementation of the Palliative Care Program increases the percentages of vulnerable elders with accessible and actionable ACP documentations over time .  \nHypothesis 1b. The number, type, and severity of MCC are associated with the likelihood that ACP is documented in the vulnerable elders’ EHR.  \n2. To identify barriers and facilitators of ACP conversations and ACP documentation, including the role of MCC, using in-depth interviews with healthcare team members in primary care, oncology, pulmonology, and cardiology who are outliers (in both directions) with respect to ACP documentation .  \nResearch Plan-Significance  \n1. Summarize the pivotal work before yours .  \na) Strive for balance and completeness  \nb) Include any controversies and discrepancies your project will address  \n2. State the key scientific questions that remain and why they need to be answered.  \n3. Summarize what you propose to do to answer one of these questions or fill an important gap in our understanding.  \n4.
