Predicting Hospice Transitions in Dementia Caregiving Dyads: An Exploratory Machine Learning Approach.

Our exploratory models create a starting point for the future development of precision health approaches that may be integrated into learning health systems that prompt providers with actionable information about who may benefit from discussions around serious illness goals-for-care. Future work is necessary to investigate those not considered in this study-that is, persons living with dementia who do not use hospice care so additional insights can be gathered around barriers to care.
