Communication about personal values of patients with advanced lung cancer in the hospital: results of a mixed-methods study
Our findings highlight the need for physicians to take a proactive role in discussing patient values and empowering them in decision-making. These insights can inform the development of value assessment tools and interventions to improve shared decision-making and goal-concordant care.
