All hospices must have a current manual of policies and procedures, not only essential to the management and administration of a hospice organization, but to enable organizations to comply with regulatory and/or accreditation standards. As hospice organizations emerge and grow in this decade, they will need a current, comprehensive, and customizable hospice administration manual. Hospice Administration Manual is written in a policy format commonly used in health care organizations and includes 135 policies and procedures. In addition, it includes a CD-ROM that includes all policies and procedures in the Manual and a policy "constructor" to assist agencies in preparing new policies and procedures in the correct format.
