Summary

The purpose of this study is to pilot the introduction of a newly developed palliative care tool to clinicians in a family health team. The intent of the tool is to improve the quality and comprehensiveness of palliative care, which effects caregiver and patient satisfaction with care received, as well as clinician satisfaction with their delivery of care. Tool effectiveness will be evaluated by measuring satisfaction scores of caregivers, patients and clinicians who receive training and access to the tool compared to caregivers, patients and clinicians providing usual care (without the tool). Uptake of the tool and user feedback will be collected
