Determining specific barriers to a good death at a tertiary care, academic medical center

Communication and symptom management have always been major issues in dealing with end-of-life care work. Poor family satisfaction and lack of closure, as well as staff satisfaction, are important issues. This study proposes to define the epidemiology of death at a tertiary, academic medical center, and to elicit feedback from providers and families on the care and resultant level of satisfaction at the end-of-life. This information will be used to identify and overcome barriers to a "good death."
