COVID-19 Communication and Care Planning Tool. This tool is intended to help guide the discussion between a clinician and a resident and/or their family members about COVID-19 infections, including responding to symptoms and to end-of-life considerations. As it is written, the tool is written for a conversation between a clinician and a family member(s). It may be readily adjusted for a conversation with the resident. White squares indicate actions for the clinical staff. Black circles indicate discussion points. The Supplementary Material contains a longer version of this tool in a format that may be modified to suit the needs of individual long-term care settings. A downloadable PDF of this form is available at www.sciencedirect.com.
