The Hospice Companion is designed to promote, establish, maintain and continuously        improve comprehensive systems of care that ensure the highest quality of services to        meet the needs of patients and their families during the last phase of life. On        behalf of their patients, all hospice providers must inculcate processes of care        that lead to maximal comfort and functional capacities, and a sense of being valued        throughout the final stages of any chronic and progressive illness. The values        embodied in The Hospice Companion reflect a commitment to these premises:DT The        dying patient's achievable goals are the highest priority of care. DT Family        preferences are respected and supported whenever possible. DT All terminally        ill patients and their families deserve access to hospice care. DT Ongoing        investment to advance the art and science of palliative care is a moral imperative.          DT The spirit of Hospice as the most humanistic form of care at the end of life        must be continually nurtured through interdisciplinary work.More than ever it is        incumbent upon those who provide care to those with life-limiting illnesses to be        keenly aware of both the extent and the limits of the technological advances that        can add either great burden or great benefit to seriously ill patients and their        families. The Hospice Companion has been created to operationalize the mission and        values of modern-day Hospice through the individual and combined efforts of our most        valuable asset, the Hospice professional. The title word 'Companion' was expressly        chosen for the profound meaning it suggests: that companionship, in the many forms        it can take, is the key ingredient to care. This book represents the practical        embodiment of the basic, fundamental elements of care, through a focus on common        problems confronting patients, their families, and their caregivers. The Hospice        Companion is intended as a guide through which some mastery over the seemingly        complex, challenging, and often times chaotic world of advance disease may be        derived. use of this 'tool' to direct processes of care during the intense        interpersonal experiences of hospice work should allow the greatest opportunity for        personal and professional growth and a deeply gratifying sense of accomplishment as        you proceed in the all-important work of caring for the dying.
