Abstract
The expansion of hospice care brings new challenges for accountability, program evaluation, and research. The present paper attempts to examine (a) the various goals, tasks, and conceptual models of program evaluation relevant to terminal care, and (b) the applicability of two illustrative evaluation strategies: experimental designs and time-series analysis.Keywords
