Whole Patient, Partial Record?

Exploring the Visibility of Belief-Based Data in Digital Palliative Systems

Palliative care nurses listen for patients’ values, culture, and meaning every day seeking to include it into care; yet much of this conversation remains invisible in electronic health records.

This graduate research study explores how nurses document and use belief-based information within digital systems, and what that means for compassionate, whole-person care at end of life.
