Six years of a clinical communication intervention in shared decision-making to promote documentation of goals of care for critically ill patients with a life-limiting illness
The implementation of a comprehensive clinical communication training program was associated with increased documentation of shared decision-making discussions for patients in ICU with LLI, which corresponded with changes in patient treatment preferences and healthcare utilisation by decedents. Further research is required to understand the impact of these conversations from the perspective of patients and their families.
