Quality assurance in DNR (do not resuscitate) decisions--the role of chaplaincy: a case report and a 92 patient group study.

This paper describes 10 indicators of quality assurance for DNR decisions developed by a New England hospital's chaplaincy. It then looks at how these 10 indicators were applied to a specific case and subsequently to the hospital's group of 92 terminal cases. Recommendations were also made for each responsibility group in the hospital.
