A guide to end-of-life care for seniors / edited by Rory Fisher, Margaret M. Ross and Michael J. MacLean. : H88-3/31-2001-3E-PDF
"This GUIDE supports the end-of-life care of seniors that reflects a consensus of best practice in this area of health care and social service delivery. ... The main audience for this Guide is health care and social service providers in long-term and acute care settings and in community care agencies. The Guide will also be useful and informative for seniors and their family caregivers, health care planners, students and the general public. This Guide links end-of-life issues to the major determinants of population health. It supports effective decision-making in the context of continuing advances in health care technology and the socio-economics of health care reform. It also reflects the diverse needs of Canada's Aboriginal peoples and the cultural mosaic of our population and addresses the impact of end-of-life care on family and working life."--p. 8 of 190.
