J Soc Work End Life Palliat Care. 2021 Jun 21:1-7. doi: 10.1080/15524256.2021.1940420. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe rise of COVID-19 in March, 2020 led to an urgent and acute need for communication guidelines to help clinicians facing a novel disease, amidst a cacophony of voices and demands, find the words to use in the face of this public health emergency.

Organized in an easy to read table, the guide was made available to a wide variety of websites, organizations and schools as a free PDF resource across the country and beyond.PMID:34152941 | DOI:10.1080/15524256.2021.1940420
