Declarations
:
: All methods were carried out in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations. Collection of patient demographic data and surveys of support persons was approved by the Committee on Human Research and the Institutional Review Board at the University of California San Francisco and the San Francisco Veterans Affairs. Informed consent (verbal) was obtained from all support persons. Waiver of consent was approved for chart review of all patients. The voluntary survey for trainees was conducted as a component of routine program evaluation of the quality improvement project and deemed exempt from written informed consent by the Institutional Review Board since the survey was minimal risk, would not adversely affect rights and welfare of subjects, and the evaluation of the quality improvement project could not be practically carried out without the waiver.
