Communication tips for leading serious illness conversations
Serious Illness Conversation Guide
The Serious Illness Conversation Guide offers clinicians language to ask patients about their goals, values and wishes. The program’s goal is for every seriously ill patient to have more frequent, improved, and earlier conversations with their clinicians about their goals, values, and priorities that will inform their future care.
