What Would We Do Without UpToDate?

UpToDate is filled with information about palliative management of symptoms and disease states.

Just search with the words “Palliative care for . . .”, then the symptom or condition, such as cough or congestive heart failure.

Bonus resource:  Palliative Care Network of Wisconsin Fast Facts for 1-2 page summaries of important issues in palliative and hospice medicine.
