“Top Ten Tips Palliative Care Clinicians Should Know About Caring for Patients Under Guardianships”, co-authored by Professor Nina Kohn, has been published in the Journal of Palliative Medicine. Kohn’s co-authors are Dhrity Bhowmik, Sally Balch Hurme, Jasmine Sandhu, June Jeon, Syeda Sundus Mujahid, Latrice Pelissier, Eric Widera, Andrew B. Cohen, Mary Galvez, Vicki Alkire, Pamela B. Teaster, William E. Rosa, and Cynthia X. Pan.
“Clinicians working in the palliative care space frequently encounter patients for whom a court has appointed a guardian, but often are confused as to the implications for medical decision-making,” says Kohn. “I enjoyed working with this truly interdisciplinary team of co-authors to provide practical guidance that clinicians can use to better support patients under guardianship.”
