Hospice and Palliative Care Handbook: Quality, Compliance, and Reimbursement

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Fundamentals
Review: I am the Adminstrator of a Hospice and Home Health Agency and recently bought this book for our staff to use on a routine basis. To date I have had nothing but positive comments from the staff on its comprehensiveness and its ease of use. Despite the fact that I am an administrator and not a clinical person, I found the book easy to read and excellent in providing critical clinical and administrative detail to help in the day-to-day and moment-to-moment issues that we deal with in Hospice.

Summary: hospice and palliative care handbook
Review: This book is directed at home health based programs who also care for the terminally ill.
It is not specific to hospice care under medicare reembursement. It is of little use to nurses working in hospice care and at times is very inappropriate in its advice for the care of terminally ill patients.
