"Compassion: a scoping review of the healthcare literature." July 2016. BMC Palliative Care.http://hdl.handle.net/1880/51494Recent concerns about suboptimal patient care and a lack of compassion have prompted policymakers to question the preparedness of clinicians for the challenging environment in which they practice.
