    I received my book today and haven’t put it down. I have been searching for a reliable, comprehensive source that I could confidently use as a tutorial for my hospice staff and I have now found it! This book puts into perspective issues that commonly stump hospice nurses’ documentation efforts. This handbook offers sound, logical approaches to thinking about eligibility, care delivery, teaching, interdisciplinary coordination of care, and so much more. I highly recommend this wonderful, comprehensive resource for all hospice disciplines. Very well done!

    I REALLY like this book.

    I have been using Marrelli books in Home Health for years. The Hospice books is every bit as good.

    Tina Marrelli provides an outstanding and resourceful tool for staff, management, and administrators of hospice and palliative care. Her expertise and passion for patient-care quality is evident. Her knowledge of regulatory and compliance expectations is clearly presented and a great asset. Examples and case studies are an empowerment for learning. And the post COVID-19 observations of health disparity and impact on professional nursing help define current hospice and palliative care practice.

    Hospice & Palliative Care Handbook, Fourth Edition, is a must-have for administrators and clinicians because it perfectly weaves together clinical practice and the regulations that govern hospice care. This book is very comprehensive and easy to navigate. It has useful information for novice and seasoned clinicians and administrators and should be a staple for new orientation/onboarding, annual competency training, and when developing policies and procedures.
