How can teams providing specialized outpatient palliative care measure and ensure the quality of their work? This handbook presents standards and processes that have proven effective in quality management within small, multi-professional teams. Experts from over twenty palliative care teams and from the state working group on palliative care have contributed to this handbook. Existing foundations and guidelines, as well as already validated measurement instruments, have been incorporated into the coordination processes. The quality handbook serves as a template for teams wishing to create an individual handbook for their own work. Buyers will have access to updates provided online by the publisher.
