Book excerpt: A sensitive new way of caring for the terminally ill & their families is finally finding expression in the American health care industry. It is called HOSPICE. HOSPICE means that the now largely ignored dying cancer patient is being rediscovered & cared for. To professional caregivers, HOSPICE means a new kind of team discipline & approach, as well as a broader application of "health care." To the users of its services, HOSPICE means that families will no longer need to sit by helplessly & watch a loved one slowly & painfully die of a terminal illness. "Kenneth B. Wentzel, with this small book, takes his place as one of the most eloquent spokesmen for the hospice movement in the United States...a beautiful book that is both informative & a delight to read."--NATIONAL CATHOLIC NEWS SERVICE.

Download or read book Approaching Death written by Committee on Care at the End of Life and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-10-30 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the end of life makes its inevitable appearance, people should be able to expect reliable, humane, and effective caregiving. Yet too many dying people suffer unnecessarily. While an "overtreated" dying is feared, untreated pain or emotional abandonment are equally frightening. Approaching Death reflects a wide-ranging effort to understand what we know about care at the end of life, what we have yet to learn, and what we know but do not adequately apply. It seeks to build understanding of what constitutes good care for the dying and offers recommendations to decisionmakers that address specific barriers to achieving good care. This volume offers a profile of when, where, and how Americans die. It examines the dimensions of caring at the end of life: Determining diagnosis and prognosis and communicating these to patient and family. Establishing clinical and personal goals. Matching physical, psychological, spiritual, and practical care strategies to the patient's values and circumstances. Approaching Death considers the dying experience in hospitals, nursing homes, and other settings and the role of interdisciplinary teams and managed care. It offers perspectives on quality measurement and improvement, the role of practice guidelines, cost concerns, and legal issues such as assisted suicide. The book proposes how health professionals can become better prepared to care well for those who are dying and to understand that these are not patients for whom "nothing can be done."
