Methodology for the introduction of specialised palliative care in the form of a consilient team in acute and post-acute inpatient care providers
Abstract
Methodology for the introduction of specialised palliative care in the form of a consilient team in acute and post-acute inpatient care providers describes the ways in which a palliative care consilient team can be initiated in the current context. It is divided into medical and managerial-technical sections and is aimed at hospital managers and members of consiliar teams.
It defines the key concepts and working practices that contribute to the provision of high quality specialist palliative care in any hospital. Specialised palliative care is seen by this guideline as an integral part of modern healthcare that should be available to any patient and family members who wish to receive this type of care.
