Timing shapes medicine's hardest conversations
Original: How timing shapes one of the hardest conversations in medicine
Researchers at the University of Colorado are examining how the timing of serious conversations between doctors and patients affects end-of-life and palliative care decisions. The work suggests that when clinicians discuss goals of care and prognosis can be as important as what they say, with early or late timing shaping patient outcomes and family experiences.
Why now: Ongoing debate among clinicians and researchers over when to initiate difficult end-of-life discussions with patients.
