A multidisciplinary team can be most effective when dealing with issues of death and dying.

When done well, integrated care can have a profoundly positive effect on both the patient and the patient’s family. This chapter describes how an integrated multidisciplinary team, in a primary care practice, manages key issues in caring for the dying patient. Such issues include advance care planning; communicating bad news; managing medical, emotional, and spiritual issues; palliative care; hospice; and bereavement care.
