lüll Palliative care and psychosocial contributions in the ICU Loscalzo MJHematology Am Soc Hematol Educ Program 2008[]; ä (ä): 481-90Psychosocial domains and palliative care medicine are the connective tissue of our fragmented health care system.

Managing the psychological, social, emotional, spiritual, practical and existential reactions of patients and their loved ones supports effective action and problem-solving. Practical aspects to establishing realistic goals of care among the health care team and other specialists, communicating effectively with patients and families in crisis, using the diverse and ambiguous emotional responses of patients, families, faculty and staff therapeutically, and helping to create meaning in the experience is essential to whole-patient and family care centered.
