Implications and Recommendations for Nursing Practice
Use of the CARES tool can help nurses provide optimal, evidence-based EOL care to dying patients and their families. Final Journey can be used as an opportunity to improve the EOL experience as perceived by families of dying patients. Improving QOD in the hospital setting is becoming increasingly important. Improving EOL care provided by nurses and improving the EOL experience for families of the dying are 2 main focuses for quality improvement that can be achieved through the use of the CARES tools.
