"My
staff really likes this site. They downloaded the Table
of Contents form and keep it in the exam room for me.
I can just circle the articles or community program pages
I want for a patient, and then they print it out as part
of the exit procedure." |

Physicians, social workers,
nurses and clergy will all find this website useful. Simply
download the Table
of Contents of this site (a .pdf document) and print
it out for use in your office. All you have to do is circle
the articles or community programs pages you want. If you
have office staff, they can print out the pages and hand them
to your clients. (No need to clutter your office with a bulky
notebook that goes out of date.) If you do not have staff,
you can give the form to your clients. Many have computers
themselves, or family members who have access to the internet.
This website is available to answer their questions 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week.
Members of Partners to Improve
End of Life Care—the organization sponsoring this "Living
with Serious Illness" website—have been actively
working with the End of Life Task Force of the Lane County
Medical Society. Physicians from this group reviewed the articles
under "Medical Concerns." Additionally, the Lane
County Medical Society published a very positive review of
the site in their September 2003 newsletter.
In another joint venture, Partners
members helped draft the LCMS
End of Life protocols for symptom management now available
on the Lane County Medical Society website. Further collaborative
projects are planned for the coming year.
