Assignment - End of Life Care and Your PPoP
Palliative care, sometimes referred to as supportive care, is tangentially connected to disease management. The patient population that you are studying, as part of your PPoP project, can lead to end-of-life care issues in many instances. A growing call for end-of-life legislation is growing, promoting "death with dignity" for terminally ill patients.
