From the reviews:
"Those responsible for actually delivering treatment and care near the end of life, a group of health care practitioners that extends beyond the new specialty of palliative care, must participate in the evolving paradigm of palliative medicine. Whether one is just beginning the journey or well along the way, this book will make a good traveling companion." Robert L. Fine, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 298 (14), 2007
"Somewhat alarming statistic sets the scene for a serious discussion about the delivery of palliative care in the future. ... Most of the contributors to this book seem to be clinicians, which gives it a very practical, clinical slant. The book is both thorough and thought-provoking and should be required reading for anybody involved in planning the future development of palliative care." (International Association for Hospice and Palliative Care, Vol. 9 (4), 2008)
"A multiauthored survey of selected topics related to contemporary palliative care in the United States. ... Recommended Readership: Palliative care clinicians and program administrators." (John H. Davidson, Mayo Clinic Proceedings, Vol. 82 (9), September, 2007)
The average person lives with chronic disease for three to six years.
Nine out of ten deaths in America are caused by chronic illness.
Half of all care of HIV/AIDS patients is defined as palliative care.
Keeping up with these statistics means improving on traditional concepts of palliative care to meet growing demands. Choices in Palliative Care brings together 31 leading experts to spotlight core issues in the field, identify ways PC can fill gaps in current care systems, and demonstrate state-of-the-art care that is both cost-effective and clinically appropriate. This far-sighted volume redefines palliative care as interdisciplinary and integrative, providing liaisons between patients, families, and doctors; minimizing loved ones’ care burdens; bridging acute and long-term care to respond to clients’ evolving needs; adaptable to non-fatal (and possibly curable) chronic illnesses.
Key areas of coverage:
Because so much of the future of health care delivery depends on the palliative field, Choices in Palliative Care is must reading for public health administrators, planners, and policymakers. Those teaching health service delivery courses will find this material especially useful.
