Educational sessions on palliative care were held for physicians and nurses. Medical record review and family interviews were used to generate 10 scores per patient, which evaluated satisfaction with care, relief of symptoms (pain, dyspnea, gastrointestinal, psychological), and the timeliness of care planning. Subjective comments from a quality improvement committee and focussed educational material was also included. Despite these efforts, no change in the cohort's median report scores occurred over the 18 months, but several institutional policies were examined and altered, and interest and support for a palliative care consultation service was obtained. 2002 Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context <a href="http://doi.org/10.1016/s0885-3924(02)00492-x" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">10.1016/s0885-3924(02)00492-x</a> Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Article information provided for research and reference use only.
