Palliative care represents a systematic approach to ameliorate suffering and improve quality of life in patients with advanced, life-threatening disease and their caregivers.
Palliative care research is related to understanding and improving the quality of life of patients near the end of life.
As patients move toward end of life, healthcare goals generally shift towards improving or maintaining quality of life and away from curative treatments.
Malene Davis describes how Capital Caring has evolved in response to the growing need for increased awareness of and access to hospice and palliative care services in the Washington DC area.
As the population ages, more individuals will be living with chronic pain, resulting in increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare utilization.
During catastrophic public health emergencies or disasters, existing surge capacity plans may not allow healthcare providers to continue to follow normal treatment procedures and adhere to usual standards of care.
