Purpose of Handbook
The Palliative Care Committee of Missouri Baptist Medical Center extensively revised our resource guide to make it useful for clinicians. We are making suggestions in the choice of palliative measures and drug therapy. We recognize the importance of adherence to the MBMC inpatient formulary and not limited information to those agents on this list. Consultation may be appropriate with a specialty physician or through the MBMC Palliative Care Program.
