According to Which Health Outcomes Measures Should Palliative Psychiatric Prognosis, Progress, and Success Be Defined?
Abstract:This commentary on a case considers moral reasons to adopt a palliative approach to the care of some psychiatric patients. A conceptual framework is proposed for determining who is an appropriate candidate for palliative psychiatry. The article then argues that rigorously defined patient-and family-centered outcomes should guide how successes in palliative psychiatry are measured.
