Family reported quality of end-of-life care
Zeitfenster: 12 months

For participants who die during the study period, the VA Veterans Experience Center will administer the Bereaved Family Survey which solicits bereaved family evaluations of care in the last 30 days of life.
One component of this survey is the National Quality Forum-endorsed measure called the BFS Performance Measure (BFS-PM), a single item evaluation of the overall quality of EOL care.
This measure is measured a 5-point Likert scale, which investigators will dichotomize as "excellent" vs all other categories.
This measure will be reported out descriptively.
