Abstract

Abstract: Hospice care is a special way of caring provided by an interdisciplinary care team for patients with incurable illness and their family members. The care team offers holistic care to meet physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs of patients and assists family during bereavement. Internationally, referral to hospice requires a certification of terminal illness that specifies a prognosis of 6-month or less. The medical director helps the patient to choose the model of care that meets their needs and goals of treatment and care. Definition of hospice care, eligible patients and family members, referral to hospice, the interdisciplinary care team and the care offered in hospice, and models of hospice care as well as the differences between hospice and palliative care are described in this paper with a purpose to help healthcare providers to gain a better understanding of hospice care from an international perspective.

Key words: hospice care, international perspective, hospice patients, family members, referral, interdisciplinary care team, model of care, palliative care
