Discussing autopsy with bereaved families #400

Article indépendant

ZEHM, April | ROSENBERG, Leah B. | DAUBMAN, Bethany-Rose

Autopsy remains an important quality measure, serving to advance disease understanding, identify diagnostic errors, educate trainees, and provide information about causes of death. Yet, autopsy rates have declined worldwide. Clinician hesitancy to seek consent from bereaved family members is a contributing factor, as is a perceived lack of clinical training in the autopsy consent process. This Fast Fact addresses best pratices in discussing autopsy with decedents' families. We restrict our discussion to non-forensic hospital autopsies.
