The McKesson disposition for "Dead in the Department" (as opposed to DOA, which is Dead on Arrival) always made me chuckle a little bit, because it would mark the dispo column "DID". Patient did what? "He done did die!" I've always wanted to say. Please take a few minutes to take this ENA survey about
end-of-life-care in the Emergency Department. Definitely something we don't spend much time discussing but face a lot of time dealing with. And we can and must do better.
