A qualitative study exploring challenges and solutions to negotiating goals of care at the end of life in hospital settings

In practice, however, there are many challenges to this, such as ensuring that patients, families, and HCPs are aware of different expectations regarding future health-care possibilities, and that HCPs are prepared for negotiating GoC to achieve quality and safe EOL care in hospitals.
