Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the role of technology and policy in shaping care plans for patients. Historically, healthcare has lagged behind other industry sectors in adopting and deploying useful technologies, and policy surrounding use is an important component of establishing a long-term strategy. This chapter evaluates the current state of technology in the clinical setting and extends the widely adopted policy-based approaches into the palliative care context.
