As as an experienced RN Hospice Clinical Case manager and now a Quality Assurance/ Performance Improvement RN, this book is extremely valuable for any hospice agency.
This book is organized well and easy to read. It covers all aspects of Hospice and Palliative care, from business topics and issues to caring for the basic needs of patients and families. I bought it for a class I'm taking at Marian University in WI, in the Masters Thanatology program.
Excellent resource for healthcare professionals & those not working in the field who want an in-depth look about hospice & palliative care.
Received in condition as described. Thank you
