Abstract

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Modeled after the Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment program, the Veterans Health Administration (VA) implemented the Life-Sustaining Treatment (LST) Decisions Initiative to improve end-of-life outcomes by standardizing LST preference documentation for seriously ill Veterans. This study examined the associations between LST documentation and family evaluation of care in the final month of life for Veterans in VA nursing homes.
