Deprescribing practice in hospice medicine has expanded exponentially
in recent years. This book systematically addresses the groups of
extremely useful medications to manage chronic disease conditions and
prevent complications. It highlights the positive intervention of
reducing polypharmacy, improving a terminally ill patient's quality of
life, providing individual patient context and helping clinicians in
deprescribing. It discusses good ethics, patient wishes and side
effect protocols to discontinue no longer relevant medications, thus
improving decision-making with the goal of enhancing the patient's
quality of life during the time when it is needed the most. Key
Features: Empowers the patient, their families, and the providers to
have an open discussion about well-informed decision-making. Equips
the hospice and palliative care clinicians to comfortably explain the
rationale and the discontinuation process of the unessential
medications. Highlights the most important facts in bullets along with
a unique feature of providing ready-to-go conversational phrases.
