DESCRIPTION
This newly published second edition has been updated substantially from the first published in 2004 to reflect the current state of the field. Edited by Constance Dahlin, MSN, ANP, BC, ACHPN, who chaired the NCP Revision Task Force, with input from representatives of each of the four major organizations in end of life — the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine, Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association, National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, and the Center for Palliative Care — the revised publication includes exemplars with each domain that demonstrate how hospice and palliative care professionals around the country have implemented the eight NCP domains of care in their practice settings. The domains have not changed, but content within the domains has been updated to reflect changes in the field. The narrative of the document has been updated to reflect the importance of the NCP, particularly as the foundation for the work of the National Quality Forum. Most importantly, the publication features updated references that reflect work in the field from late 2004 to the present. The first edition was a seminal work. This second edition takes that content to the next level. Whether developing a new program or assessing the current state of your practice, this resource is musthave for all hospice and palliative care professionals. Softcover: 88 pages
