DESCRIPTION:
Here's a report that
aims to help hospice and palliative care programs make a strong case
for the need for grants and charitable gifts to strengthen end-of-life
care.
"Making The Case For
Grant Funding Support For End-Of-Life Care," sets forth the compelling
need to financially support new and expanded strategies for improving
end-of-life care.
Needed financial support
includes money to fund research, clinical programs, and health
professions education in support of quality end-of-life care.
Professionals in hospice and palliative care can point to a laundry
list of programs and projects that could be launched, strengthened or
expanded if adequate funding was available.
"Making The Case For
Grant Funding Support For End-Of-Life Care," is not a "how-to manual
for grants seeking, there are no sample forms or worksheets, nor is the
report a complete directory or list of sources of grant monies for
end-of-life care.
The report has been
compiled and organized by the editorial team of hospice letter, the
nation's first and leading management briefing for hospice executives
since 1979, to serve as a stimulus, a starting point for hospice
leaders and management staffs to become aware of the full range of
types of end-of-life care activities and services that will attract the
attention and grants from charitable foundations, government sources,
and company-sponsored foundations.
We have assembled the
most useful articles that appeared in hospice letter and Health Grants
Funding Alert, organized the information by topic and compiled it into
this reference.
Today there are many
programs underway with a goal of improving issues surrounding the last
stages of life. Studies have proven that new approaches are needed for
palliative care. For instance, more flexibility in healthcare and
hospice services is necessary to meet the needs of dying patients and
assist their loved ones.
However, adequate
financing is still the major imperative for improving end-of-life care.
The first section of the
report "sets the stage," and outlines the new strategies for care of
the dying, including the United Hospital Fund three-year, $2.5 million
effort to fill in gaps in services, and the national study that called
for expanded access to hospice, both in home and institutional
settings, continued growth of the field of palliative care medicine,
and improved end-of-life care in nursing homes.

U. S., the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the $9.1 million awarded
