The Power of Words: The Importance of Defining and Documenting Goals in Patient-Centered Care
If palliative care is truly patient-centered care, a fundamental step is helping patients articulate who they are and what they need – then translating that into goals of care to be shared with the whole healthcare team.
This process sounds simple, but it takes practice, skill and training. You’ll find a trove of essential information in our new eBook, “The Power of Words: The Importance of Defining and Documenting Goals in Patient-Centered Care.”
