A question prompt sheet has been shown to improve doctor/patient communication during consultations. The aim of this study was to
develop a single-page consensus list of prompt questions for use by patients
attending outpatient palliative care. An expert group of experienced physicians
and mid-level providers were invited to participate in the study conducted in
three Delphi rounds. From this, a 25-item,
single-page QPS was developed for use by patients attending outpatient
palliative care.
