- Authors
Paladino, Joanna; Lakin, Joshua R.; Sanders, Justin J.
- Abstract
This Viewpoint discusses the challenges of communicating uncertain prognosis to patients and offers a framework and language that go past mortality statistics—addressing range of time left, loss of independence, and the unpredictability of outcomes—that embraces uncertainty and might help empower patients to plan for their quality-of-life goals.
