Discharge dispositions were significantly differently distributed across the two periods (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    =.03). Readmission to acute care declined (from 16.5% to 13.3%, a nearly 20% decline). Multivariable logistic regression, controlling for age, sex, and case\u2010mix index and adjusting for clustering due to repeated admissions of individual patients, suggests that, during the intervention period, patients were more likely than during the baseline period to die on the unit in accordance with their wishes than to be transferred out to the hospital (odds ratio=2.45, 95% confidence interval=1.09\u20135.5).\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Interventions such as the
