"Hospital-Based Palliative Medicine: A Practical, Evidence-Based Approach focuses
on improving a Hospitalist's ability to provide quality palliative care in the inpatient
hospital setting. Although several large textbooks exist for the palliative care provider,
there are few detailed resources aimed specifically at the general Hospitalist and
hospital-based staff. Existing textbooks dedicate at most only one chapter to palliative
care and they lack the detail and specificity in symptom management and communication
skills to truly guide care. Hospital-Based Palliative Medicine addresses each of the
major components involved in the delivery of inpatient palliative care. These include
the management of complex symptoms and the use of specific communication techniques
- right down to the actual words to say to the patient - to convey important information
such as the reason for and use of medication and how to handle difficult topics with
patients and their families and caregivers. The book's authors are all leaders in
the field of palliative care, and most of them also practice as hospitalists, and
thus understand both perspectives. Chapters are presented in a consistent format with
particular attention to both clinical pearls and pitfalls, making the material practical
and easily accessible to the busy hospitalist and associated hospital staff"--Provided
