Palliative care is an area of healthcare that focuses on relieving and
preventing the suffering of patients.
Palliative medicine is appropriate for patients in all disease stages,
including those undergoing treatment for curable illnesses and those
living with chronic diseases, as well as patients who are nearing the
end of life.
Palliative medicine utilizes a multidisciplinary approach to patient
care, relying on input from physicians, pharmacists, nurses,
chaplains, social workers, psychologists, and other allied health
professionals in formulating a plan of care to relieve suffering in
all areas of a patient's life. This multidisciplinary approach allows
the palliative care team to address physical, emotional, spiritual,
and social concerns that arise with advanced illness. -0-
