BHATTY, Hafsa | LAL, Ashima | PINTO TAYLOR, Emily

It is inevitable that hospitalists will encounter patients at their end-of-life; in 2018, 35.1% of all deaths occurred in a hospital.1 This paper discusses the importance of addressing hospitalized patients' EOL needs and strategies to do so effectively. A significant consideration for many individuals at the EOL is spirituality—one's 'experiences with the sacred.4 Religion is one aspect of spirituality, differentiated as 'one's involvement in an organized system of beliefs and behaviors related to one's experiences with the sacred2. Spirituaity can be expressed in different ways, including religious beliefs, culture. and interpersonal relationships; it is how these diverse aspects come together that creates an individual's unique experience of dying.
