Oxford; New York: Oxford Univ Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket 2000. First Edition. Hardcover. Marfree, acidfree Fine /NrF 1stEd excel resources, refs & assess tools; not written-in, underlined, clearance or discard. Usually mails within 12 hours. ; 1.52 x 10.22 x 7.37; 377 pages; Synopsis: In a time when the US's healthcare system is still unrefined, dying persons and their families are forced to confront numerous problems; among the worst are huge medical bills, isolation, fear, and little to no co-ordination among the services and care provided. As more and more people suffer from chronic illnesses that prolong the dying process, the need for an effective code of treatment for terminally ill and dying patients grows substantially. This sourcebook attempts to fill that need. The book offers professionals who care for dying persons an extensive yet user-friendly guide on how to render the best possible treatment. It is complete with bar graphs, pie charts, an annotated bibliography, and lists of other resources. Overview chapters focus on the epidemiology of dying, patterns of treatment and service, the experience of dying persons, family roles, health care systems, and financing. Other chapters discuss dying of specific diseases, socio-cultural factors that influence how we die, and differences in dying by age. #Book Info#RAND Center to Improve Care of the Dying, Arlington, VA. Provides specific information on all major causes of death and describes opportunities for improving the quality of life for those affected by them. Suggests projects organizations can attempt immediately, changes patients and families would benefit from, and environments that encourage better practice. #Book Description#Using examples taken from a year-long collaborative on improving end-of-life care, Improving Care aims to equip readers with the best available advice on how to make substantial improvements in the delivery of health care to seriously ill people who are coming to the end of life. The books intended audience includes anyone working in health care management, ranging from doctors, nurse managers and social workers, to administrators, hospital chaplains, and directors of volunteer services. Improving Care describes the gains organizations have made, the changes they have attempted and the successes they have achieved. By offering step-by-step stories of successful efforts to provide good end-of-life care, the book provides a template for organizations interested in improving the way people die in Americas health care system and closing the gap between what is known about good end-of life care and what is actually done for patients. By seeing what didn't work, readers can avoid common pitfalls. #Improving Care includes sections focusing on changes patients and families often demand or would most benefit from, environments that encourage better practice, opportunities for change in caring for patients with specific diseases, as well as a Getting Started chapter which offers specific tips on getting something done by next Tuesday. Content-specific resources are listed at the end of each chapter. An appendix provides instruments used by organizations in assessing various aspects of end-of-life care, and a detailed glossary explains those terms with which the audience may not be familiar. Ultimately, the writers hope to provide the insight and inspiration to address current problems in health care delivery and create excellent health care for everyone, regardless of their stage in life. .
