Share some thoughts after inviewed by a hospice care agency in the States. For hospice care( palliative care) , good " care standard"( to national level) is needed. How to keep terminal ill patients comfortable at home, their dr. will give hospice patients an set of orders that suitable for the patient and make sure the caregiver is able to and feel comfortable to use those medications. Of course, hospice nurses/case manager will visit those patients and make sure patients are ok and their caregivers are able to give medications to patients when it is needed( most of time is pain killers in different level. In urgent situation, agency will sent out a nurse/ case manager/ social worker to visit. They will report patients' situation back to their dr..for further instruction.
