Our administration recently approved 2 dedicated in-pt palliative care beds. We are in the process of developing admission criteria. I would appreciate any info regarding this topic. Thanks

Hi, If you haven't already reviewed this great paper from Meier and Beresford, please do so... http://www.liebertonline.com/doi/abs/10.1089/jpm.2006.9.1244 I think it will be helpful as you set up your unit and lists successful model programs that you might want to contact.
