Description: In response to identified concerns regarding the quality of the dying experience of hospitalized individuals, Hamilton Health Sciences undertook a Quality End-of-Life Care Initiative to assist clinicians in adopting more proactive, patient-centered approaches at end of life.  The program involved educational sessions, resource materials, and implementation of a new documentation tool (POST:   Physician Ordered Scope of Treatment).  Are we doing better as a result?  Findings from the evaluation of this initiative (chart audits, family satisfaction questionnaires, clinician interviews) will be presented, along with reflections on how we can provide enhanced end-of-life care to the patients and families we serve.
