Evaluating Palliative Care

Establishing the Evidence Base

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Palliative care is an area of increasing importance, dealing with care of the dying. It is a truly multidisciplinary specialty combining the expertise of oncologists, anaethetists, nurses and many other therapeutic groups. Because of this, the effectiveness of palliative care is difficult to measure although observation and anecdotal information provide ample support of its effectiveness. This timely book examines the methodological issues in the evaluation of palliative care, and outlines a practical approach to palliative care evaluation that is readily applicable to many other health care interventions. It describes the current status of palliative care research and covers a vast amount of literature.
