What is Palliative Care? (a personal definition)Palliative Care is an approach to care which focuses on comfort and quality of life for those affected by life-limiting/life-threatening illness. Its goal is much more than comfort in dying; palliative care is about living, through meticulous attention to control of pain and other symptoms, supporting emotional, spiritual, and cultural needs, and maximizing functional status.
The spectrum of investigations and interventions consistent with a palliative approach is guided by goals of patient and family and by accepted standards of health care, rather than being boundaried by preconceptions of what is or is not "palliative". -
