Comprehensive Care - Element 2: Identifying goals of care - Tips for clinicians
These eight tips about setting goals can be used when assisting patients and family, carers and other support people to identify and develop goals of care.
Goals of care are what a patient wants to achieve during an episode of care, within the context of their clinical situation.
Goals may be clinical and personal and are determined in the context of a shared decision making process. Identifying goals of care helps to organise and prioritise care activities and contributes to improved satisfaction, quality-of-life and self-efficacy for patients.
