Introduction to Hospice and Palliative Care
Hospice and Palliative Care is specialized medical care provided for people living with serious illness. It focuses on providing relief from the symptoms and stresses of a serious illness and improves the quality of life. The palliative care uses an interdisciplinary team to fully address the needs of patients and families. Nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers and pharmacists work alongside physicians to address psychosocial and spiritual concerns of patients and families in addition to physical symptoms. The main Difference in Hospice and Palliative care is Hospice care is reserved for terminally ill patients when treatment is no longer curative during the last 6 months of life, assuming the disease takes its normal course. Palliative care can be employed while the patient is continuing active treatment through different phases of their life limiting condition.
Hospice has 4 levels of care: routine home care, general inpatient care, continuous care, and respite care. Most hospice care is routine home care, delivered in the patient's residence to ensure comfort and avoid hospitalization. The expansion of primary palliative care delivered by PCPs will greatly promote symptom management and quality of life for patients throughout the course of a life-threatening illness, not just at the end. Palliative care is a resource for anyone living with a serious illness, such as heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer, dementia, Parkinson's disease, and many others. Palliative care can be helpful at any stage of illness and is best provided from the point of diagnosis
Track 1: Palliative Care and Chronic Diseases
Chronic illnesses are marked by fluctuations and variations over time. Individuals with chronic illness experience pain and other symptoms that are not always adequately managed. Their caregivers often must deal with enormous burden as the illness progresses. Palliative care can serve as an intervention to manage chronic illness, not just at the end of life but also in the early phases of illness. The Primary treatment needs the urgent attention and Secondary outcomes will include health-related quality of life, care giver burden, quality of care and cost-effectiveness of interventions.

Track 3: Regional and Rural Palliative Care
Palliative care is a very important to older person at the end of their life that’s the good death. The survey gives result that the rural area has less palliative care facility compare to the urban area. The palliative care has to improve in the rural area also and the people have to understand the importance of palliative care and the required information has to give for the rural person about the disease so that they can take palliative care. Services less available in rural area that may contribute to the lower proportion of home deaths in rural areas include the lower availability of home-based services, the lack of 24-hour care, and delays in service provision.

Track 4: Palliative Care in Aged Care
Aged care refers to the additional care required for an older person needing regular health professional input either in the aged care home. Palliative care is according to WHO Organization an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing the problems associated with life-threatening illness, through the prevention. It is important that older people are supported to receive high quality palliative care in the setting of their choice, whether that be in their own home or in a residential aged care facility. Availability of high quality palliative care in aged care facilities and people’s own homes will enable older to have a good death.

Track 5: Palliative Care Education
Palliative care Education is very important to improve the knowledge and skills in the caring of the person. Palliative education required for the nurses, physicians, and other disciplines associated with clinical care. End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC) is Education institution train-the-trainer approach to provide undergraduate and graduate nursing faculty, nursing Continuing Education faculty, staff development educators, staff nurse, specialty nurses in pediatrics, oncology, critical care and geriatrics, and other nurses with education in palliative and end-of-life care

Track 6: Multidisciplinary Approach to Palliative Care
Some of the serious Diseases may require special care. Due to the complex care needs of patients with advanced life-limiting illness it is our experience that a multidisciplinary approach to care can optimize the patient and family illness experience for this vulnerable population. As the illness progresses and care needs become increasingly complex, achieving high-quality whole-person care often necessitates care in multiple settings like inpatient hospitalization, outpatient clinic, and home-based care. Early identification and involvement with palliative care provides multidisciplinary resource for advanced care planning, supportive care, and expert level symptom management. Collaboration between patient/family, oncology providers, and palliative care can occur concurrently with medical treatments, providing for a team-based approach to advanced malignancies, focused on patient-centered care and quality of life

Track 7: Palliative Care and Bioethics
Clinical ethics is a practical discipline that provides a structured approach for identifying, analyzing, and resolving ethical issues in medical care . Health Professional has to follow some ethical issues in the palliative care like issues related to autonomy, decision-making, whether to withhold or withdraw treatment, nutrition and hydration. So the Nurses working within a specific dominant culture and tradition need to respect the dominant tradition of the institution where they practice at the same time negotiating between ethical systems to meet the goals of the patient
- Respect for persons (autonomy)
- Beneficence
- Justice.

Track 8: Palliative Care and non-malignant Diseases
Palliative care in non-malignant Disease is very important and the existing care method has to update. The palliative care must be based on need, not diagnosis, and the physical and psychological needs of patients with advanced non-malignant disease differ little from those of patients with cancer. The diseases Like Chronic Heart failure, Chronic Lung disease , End Stage renal disease need complex specialist rather than specific diagnoses, the prospect becomes less daunting. Even if there is insufficient capacity for specialist palliative care services to support all patients with non-malignant diseases, care could be improved by the dissemination of expertise and knowledge.

Track 9: Palliative Care in Symptom Management
Geriatrics is a specialty that focuses on health care of elderly people. It aims to promote health by preventing and treating diseases and disabilities in older adults. There is no set age at which patients may be under the care of a geriatrician or geriatric physician, a physician who specializes in the care of elderly people. Rather, this decision is determined by the individual patient's needs, and the availability of a specialist. Geriatrics differs from standard adult medicine because it focuses on the unique needs of the elderly person. The aged body is different physiologically from the younger adult body, and during old age, the decline of various organ systems becomes manifest. Previous health issues and lifestyle choices produce a different constellation of diseases and symptoms in different people.

Track 11: Palliative Care and Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy practitioners play an important role on palliative and hospice care teams by identifying life roles and activities (“occupations”) that are meaningful to patients and addressing barriers to performing these activities. Unlike other health care providers, they consider both the physical and psychosocial/ behavioral health needs of the patient, focusing on what is most important to him or her to accomplish, the available resources and support systems, and the environments in which the patients want and can participate.

Track 13: Palliative care and Emergency Medicine
Emergency Medicine has progressively taken a central role in the early execution of palliative care. Patients with a serious disease are likely to find themselves in an emergency section at some point along their course of illness, and they should expect to receive high-quality palliative care in that setting. Common integration of palliative care into the day-to-day practice of emergency medicine, however, is often exposed by the demands of many competing priorities. Palliative care intercessions in the ED catch high-hazard patients during a period of emergency and can drastically improve understanding focused results. Emergency medicine needs to appropriately tried with legitimate convention before utilizing in the palliative consideration.

Palliative care in Europe
Palliative care in the context of advanced disease and end-of-life care in the final months and weeks of life represent the last phase of health and social care for citizens before their death. In 1967 Cicely Saunders founded St Christopher’s Hospice in South London with focusing on treatment for serious ill people.
To develop the palliative care in 1988 European countries formed first European Association for Palliative Care (EAPC), which came into being in Milan with 42 founding members, and which by 2005 represented the interests of 50,000 health care workers and volunteers across 40 countries
This new field of palliative care helped define, from a clinical point of view, the needs and problems of the terminally ill patient. The aims of palliative care and the elements to be addressed are broadly agreed by experts in the field
- Attending to physical, psychological, social, spiritual and practical expectations and needs;
- Providing support to the family though loss, grief and bereavement
- Preparation for, and management of, the dying process and death
