Pallipedia - a free online palliative care dictionary [Новость добавлена - 25.10.2009]
Anyone with online access can submit terms to Pallipedia, following the established criteria
The International Association for Hospice and Palliative Care (IAHPC) has announced the launching of Pallipedia, a free online palliative care dictionary to be built by the international community. The dictionary is housed in www.pallipedia.org
Pallipedia resulted from a strategic plan carried early in 2008 by the IAHPC Board of Directors, who recommended developing and implementing a Palliative Care specialized online dictionary to improve palliative care knowledge and resources for the global community.
Pallipedia offers two options to visitors:
- Searching for a term or concept related to the field of Palliative Care. The searching capability includes stop words and query language.
- Submitting a term or concept related to the field of Palliative Care. Accepted terms and concepts are automatically indexed in alphabetical order.
This is an ongoing project which will be nurtured by the global palliative care community. Special qualifications are not required and everyone is encouraged to suggest a term or concept.
Best wishes,
EAPC head office
