All over the world, people are developing better ways to care for the dying

leaders around the globe - from doctors and nurses to social workers and
hospice professionals - is the mission of an important new book, Innovations
in End-of-Life Care: Practical Strategies & International Perspectives.
Dedicated to more humane care, this invaluable volume is a compilation
of cutting-edge strategies for making improvements in the quality of care
for patients and their families through life's final transition. Its purpose
is to improve quality of care through the dissemination, cross-cultural
analysis, and critical examination of innovative practices. It features
in-depth descriptions of how health care professionals have redesigned
systems of care to better support dying patients, as well as analytic essays
and international commentary from leaders in the growing worldwide
palliative care movement.
Innovations in End-of-Life Care is at once a handbook, a consciousness
raiser, and an inspirational guide. It is also a reference book of resources
and tools, with protocols and bibliographies to help you, your health care
institution, and your community improve care for those in the advanced
stages of illness.
