"Sharing in hopes and worries"-a qualitative analysis of the delivery of compassionate care in palliative care and oncology at end of life.

Conclusions: Methods for delivering compassionate care at EOL are wide ranging, but barriers on a systemic and individual level should be addressed to make its practice more widespread. This can be accomplished, in part, by the standardization of EOL conversations, training physicians how to have meaningful EOL conversations, and integration of such conversations into electronic medical records.
