HMS researchers are leading a new checklist project to improve end-of-life care. Atul Gawande, HMS professor of surgery at Brigham and Women’s Hospital; Rachelle Bernacki, HMS instructor in medicine at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute; and Susan Block, HMS professor of psychiatry at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, are leading the study. William Berry, HMS research fellow in anesthesia at Massachusetts General Hospital, is helping to launch the safe-surgery checklist in South Carolina hospitals.
