This book addresses the need for more information on the management of palliative care programs. Part I addresses the various settings where palliative care occurs, Part II addresses the specific disease management approach and quality of life care including cancer, heart disease, dementia and AIDS/HIV. Part III addresses specific issues in palliative care by population including minorities, the elderly, and children. While Part IV addresses broader professional issues including developing a business plan for a palliative care program, legal and ethical issues around end-of-life care, quality management and policy issues. This book will travel well with existing public health textbook titles, particularly those focusing on health services delivery.
