"Remembrance": a self-care tool for clinicians

Journal of Palliative Medicine, 2019 22(3) p. 316-319
Morris, Sue E.; Kearns, John P.; Moment, Amanda; et al

In this article, the authors describes the development of "Remembrance," an interdisciplinary approach to acknowledge and process the deaths of patients on an inpatient palliative care service, paying particular attention to how patients and their families affect them as clinicians. They suggest that such a practice is an important component of both quality end-of-life care and clinician self-cares. A template summarizes the approach, which can be easily adapted for use by others.
