Patterns of Goals-of-Care Documentation in the Outpatient Oncology Setting: A Retrospective Cohort Study of Older Adults with Advanced Cancer
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to assess the prevalence of goals-of-care documentation (GOCC) among older adults with advanced cancer in an outpatient oncology setting and to identify patient-level factors associated with such documentation. They found that only 43% of the 7,743 patients studied had documented GOCC, with notable differences in age, marital status, and mortality rates between those with and without documentation. This highlights a significant gap in the documentation of patient values and preferences, indicating a need for improved practices in routine cancer care.
