The obstacles hindering referrals to palliative care services. We also take a dive into these 2 articles that Connie first authored: Palliative care in nursing homes: A qualitative study on referral criteria and implications for research and practice.

And the entire community of palliative care said yes, not a palliative care study. I don’t know if we captured where the hospice referral came from.
