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.
Programs
and Projects That Have Been Funded
You'll
get profiles of funders that have awarded
grants to improve
end-of-life care, like the foundation program

attitudes in patient care, the national program,
Promoting Excellence in
End-of-Life Care, by the largest funder of
end-of-life programs in the U. S., the Robert
Wood Johnson Foundation, and the $9.1 million
awarded to improve care of the dying.

be able to review a range of representative
grants awarded to a variety of organizations
providing end-of-life care, like the $1 million
awarded to a Florida hospice to help serve
the expanding Latino population it its service
area by eliminating language barriers and
improving cultural understanding of the hospice
care concept.

and the types programs receiving the grant
funds including $4.5 million to increase the
