Abstract

En 中文
The Institute of Medicine defines a good death a one that is free from avoidable death and suffering for patients, families and caregivers in general accordance with the patients' and families' wishes.. The current system creates barriers to reducing the stress and suffering that accompany a patient's end of life. Data and eHealth technology, if it were more accessible, could help patients, families, and caregivers to cope with end of life issues.
