Major national initiatives are now under development to address inadequacies in the way transitions of care occur – from hospital to nursing home to place of residence – and how follow-up care gets delivered.
National and local experts in the field of palliative care, hospital and home care will employ in-depth analysis, an environmental scan and narrative ethics to tease out the vexing issues while offering innovative models.
