Ensuring Continuity Through Effective Patient Handoffs

In this episode, we discuss a procedure so impactful that it can influence the direction of care and the patient’s subsequent hospital course. This procedure is the act of having a serious illness conversation. We talked to Dr. Neena Kashyap, an emergency medicine trained and now palliative care fellow at Cooper University Hospital. After today’s discussion, we hope that you will be better prepared to engage patients and their families in these often difficult conversations.
