Effective communications play a major role in facilitating adaptation to the reality of living with a serious illness. Patients with serious, life-threatening illnesses often face challenging treatment choices, and high-quality discussions about what is important to them promote good decision-making and patient-centered care. Understanding the patient’s care goals in the context of a serious illness allows the physician to align the care provided with what is most important to the patient. Discussing goals of care is a unique skill that should be separated conceptually from talking about prognosis. This topic will provide a practical approach to discussing goals of care in patients with a serious, life-threatening illness as well as delineate the difference between hospice and palliative care.
