Abstract
Death is inevitable. One assumes that when patients find themselves facing life-ending illnesses the concern shifts from the extension of life to quality of life. Through literature, it is determined that end-of-life care is an emerging comprehensive area of expertise in hospital settings and demands a high level of knowledge and competence. The literature showed an increased focus on research, education, and quality improvement to improve end-of-life care. There is also increasing consensus within the field of healthcare on some important principles, such as shared decision making and the importance of caring for patients’ families. The guidelines explored helped incorporate recent developments to further improve the care of patients dying in the hospital setting and their families.
