Improving care experiences for patients and caregivers at end of life: a systematic review.
End-of-life care is increasing as the US population ages. Approaches to providing high-quality end-of-life care vary across setting, diseases, and populations. Several data collection tools measure patient and/or caregiver care experiences at end of life and can be used for quality improvement. Previous reviews examined palliative care improvements or available measures but none explicitly on improving care experiences. In this study, the researchers reviewed literature on improving patient and/or caregiver end-of-life care experiences.
