From the Publisher

Dear Readers, We are pleased to bring you the “2008 Clinical Compendium” from the publishers of Annals of Long-Term Care: Clinical Care and Aging. We invited some leading authors to contribute the latest findings, recommendations for practice, clinical pearls, and website resources on important clinical topics of interest to the interdisciplinary team caring for older patients. We hope that you find this resource useful, and we look forward to continuing to provide the most up-to-date evidence-based information for healthcare professionals practicing in the long-term care setting. Sincerely, Christopher Ciraulo Vice President, Group Publisher Annals of Long-Term Care: Clinical Care and Aging
