Traditional hospital medicine is medicine related to hospital care. Hospital care means any aspect of caring for someone in the hospital setting, whether the person is expected to recover and be released, sent to another facility, or is expected not to live. Hospital care is geared toward the treatment and possible cure of an illness or ailment, with the hope that the person will recover. On the other hand, hospice care is the care of a person who has been diagnosed with terminal illness, and expects there not to be a cure for it. Therefore the hospice patient is receiving care that is geared toward ultimate comfort and improvement of quality of life during those final days or months of his life. This type of care is known as palliative care, or comfort care. It should be noted that not all palliative care is geared towards hospice patients: to care could also be geared toward patients who have a chronic condition that is also not curable, such as someone with cerebral palsy.
