Review:
""Few people will be unaware of the National Hospice Study, set up by the U.S. government to evaluate these burgeoning services.. The study was a landmark, and this book is a classic in health-care evaluation." -- The Lancet
""The study has produced very useful information. It compares hospice care with conventional care in four areas: patterns of care, patient outcome, family outcome, and cost and use. The book also contains background information about hospice philosophy, the evolution of hospice legislation, and an excellent discussion of public policy and research priorities in hospice care. This book should interest physicians and all others with a concern for improvement in the quality of care for the terminally ill." -- New England Journal of Medicine
