Risk Evaluation for Support: Predictions for Elder-Life in their Communities Tool

Prediction algorithms designed to support your palliative care discussions and decisions
RESPECT is Patient-Oriented
RESPECT was designed with patients and their caregivers to ensure outcomes are easily understandable and actionable.Â
RESPECT is Personalized
RESPECT uses personalized information from each individual to estimate their survival. This includes their demographics, comorbidities, functional and cognitive status, symptoms, and recent healthcare use (e.g., hospitalizations).
RESPECT Supports Earlier identification
RESPECT can predict the survival of individuals from less than a week to more than 5 years. This allows individuals, caregivers, and healthcare providers to identify palliative care needs earlier and adjust care plans.
RESPECT is Canadian
RESPECT was developed using 2.3 million assessment records collected from over 246,000 LTC residents and 500,000 home care recipients in Ontario between 2007 and 2018.
