“The healthcare team didn't do this” was coded as a rating of 0. “I don't know” was coded as missing. The subscales: the General Communication Subscale (items 1–6) and the End-of-life Communication Subscale (items 7–13) had response options that ranged from 0 = “poor” to 10 = “absolutely perfect.” The middle of the scale with the value of 5 = “very good.”²⁷
