Description: Specialized health care, supportive in nature, provided to a dying person. A holistic approach is often taken, providing patients and their families with legal, financial, emotional, or spiritual counseling in addition to meeting patients' immediate physical needs. Care may be provided in the home, in the hospital, in specialized facilities (HOSPICES), or in specially designated areas of long-term care facilities. The concept also includes bereavement care for the family. (From Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed)

Neoplasms (Cancer) 12/01/2004 - "OBJECTIVE: Despite the strong emphasis on home-based end-of-life care in the United States and the recognition of dying at home as a gold standard of quality of care, hospice home care is not a panacea and death at home may not be feasible for every terminally ill cancer patient" 05/01/2008 - "PARTICIPANTS: This study enrolled 152 competent patients with terminal cancer, who were involved in the initial consultations for hospice care" 06/01/2006 - "This study aims to quantify the amount of actual disclosure of a cancer diagnosis that takes place, through a survey of patients admitted for hospice care, and to compare this with preferences regarding cancer disclosure from a survey of the general population" 12/01/2005 - "Patients with advanced cancer may be prevented from enrolling in clinical trials, and trial participation may limit hospice care" 06/01/2003 - "This study suggests that the decision-making process for hospice care in patients with advanced cancer is multidimensional" Order ALL the reference details at left...
