Abstract

People in the last phase of life often need a very different care system than the one currently available. MediCaring extends the hospice model to a larger population with a wider array of services over a longer period of time with an emphasis on symptom management, maintenance of function, comfort and family counseling. This model requires simultaneous efforts to secure longer life and to make the patient and family ready for dying. Services range from psychological and spiritual counseling for the patient and family, to emergency care access, to inpatient respite care. MediCaring would accomplish these goals without increasing costs, primarily by diminishing the use of acute care interventions that may no longer serve the patient.

高质量的临终关怀:医疗示范案例。
处于生命最后阶段的人往往需要一种与现有护理系统截然不同的护理系统。医疗将临终关怀模式扩展到更大的人群,在更长的时间内提供更广泛的服务,重点是症状管理,功能维护,舒适和家庭咨询。这种模式需要同时努力确保更长的寿命,并使病人和家属做好死亡的准备。服务范围从对病人和家属的心理和精神咨询,到紧急护理,再到住院病人的临时护理。医疗将在不增加成本的情况下实现这些目标,主要是通过减少可能不再为患者服务的急性护理干预措施的使用。
