Using all of the available evidence to come up with the best therapeutic option for each patient is a critical component of medicine; because hospice and palliative care clinicians often have a very short amount of time to effect a change in comfort for their patients, knowing the evidence and being able to apply that information to day-to-day patient care is even more critical. The bottom line is that Palliative Medicine Matters.
Hospice Pharmacia strives to provide its clients and their patients with the most up-to-date picture of effective symptom management. For this reason, excelleRx’s Quality Outcomes team has created a new newsletter called Palliative Medicine Matters. Palliative Medicine Matters is devoted to promoting an evidence-based approach to palliative medicine on a topic-by-topic basis.
