In this review, we aim to identify practical approaches to hospital visitation for patients in palliative or end-of-life care circumstances. We identify and examine foundational concepts, the current evidence, and special factors and provide an example of a responsive visitation protocol. We present a stepwise approach to decision-making for visitation and offer implementation guidelines. We advocate for a considered and compassionate approach to help fill the gaps in current best practice documents and enhance the quality of care during a pandemic. This approach may reduce triggers of anxiety,19 limit moral distress,20,21 and prevent moral injury.22 For patients, families, and health care workers, the current visitation restrictions were enacted with best interests in mind but have failed to protect.23
