Without adequate education about these services, providers are not able to effectively utilize otherwise available resources to provide holistic care.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the current perception of knowledge among providers pertaining to pediatric palliative and hospice care. The study investigated improvements in educational outcomes in ten categories after participation in a web-based training. A secondary …
