As our program's reputation has grown, so too has interest in replicating it at other healthcare sites. Increasingly, we're hearing directly from our colleagues what healthcare experts have been writing about: the need for new, more effective models of end-of-life care. This TriCentral Palliative Care Program Toolkit is our way of meeting this growing need. It presents a wide range of educational, technical-assistance, and other support materials that address every aspect of program development. Based on the materials used in the TCPC Program, the toolkit provides a "blueprint" for the program as well as guidelines for modifying it to fit a particular organization's structure and meet the needs of patients in the local community.
