If you’re seeking educational materials to introduce the concept of palliative care to your patients, you may want to turn to a new resource from The Joint Commission. The accrediting body formerly known as JCAHO has introduced a brochure on the topic as part of its "Speak Up" campaign to educate patients on health care topics.
The brochure, which is available in English and Spanish online at www.jointcommission.org/speak_up_palliative/, covers issues ranging from where to access palliative care to how to secure payment for it.
