Palliative, hospice care can lessen the suffering cancer brings to patients and families
news-medical.net — “Being diagnosed with cancer can be devastating, and the treatment can take its toll in physical, emotional, social, and even spiritual ways. Palliative care providers can lessen the suffering cancer brings to patients and their families—both during treatment and at the end of life. Many people don't realize that palliative care to treat symptoms and improve a patient's quality of life can and should be given throughout their illness, not just at the end of life.” View full resource at news-medical.net

New hospice regulations improve end-of-life care - Connecticut Post
ctpost.com — “The state Department of Public Health has proposed new regulations for hospice facilities, including hospice residences such as the 12-bed Rosenthal Hospice Residence in Stamford. Private patient rooms (not four-bed wards) will provide patients and their families with privacy and dignity. Families from every community are entitled to reasonable access to hospice residential and inpatient services in a hospice facility, not in a hospital or nursing home, and certainly not hours from home.” View full resource at ctpost.com

Physician Recommends End-Of-Life Conversations with Patients - ABC News
abcnews.go.com — “It's one of the most difficult conversations a doctor can have with a patient -- deciding how and where the terminally ill should best spend their final days. "Physicians for a long time have believed these conversations would harm patients and they are difficult and upsetting," Dr. Alexi Wright, an oncologist at Boston's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute said. "Without any evidence that they improved care, I don't think there was a real push to have these conversations."” View full resource at abcnews.go.com
