Out project aim was to improve and better ensure timely identification of patients approaching end of life and to ensure patients die in the appropriate place compassionately and without unnecessary delays.
Improving this aspect of care will have an indirect benefit of improving our mortality rates through the accurate recording of expected deaths.

- Individual care plan monthly audits
