The majority of palliative care and hospice programs in North America provide care to patients with symptomatic advanced cancers. Some of these patients are candidates for symptom relief with palliative radiation therapy. In 2008, only 1 in 4 programs provided palliative radiation therapy. Not all radiation oncologists share the same goals of care with their patients, families and palliative care team.
Participants in this webinar reviewed the common perspectives of practicing radiation oncologists, understanding the fundamental principles of fractioned radiation therapy, the process structure of a radiation oncology clinic and current reimbursement structures.
Learn to create successful communication strategies , leading to rapid and effective pain and symptom management and convenient and cost-effective hospice and palliative care programs.
