What is a pallative illness?
A palliative illness is a life threatening illness in which a person has a certain amount of time to live. Palliative care is the type of care given to such patients in order to increase their quality of life while they are still alive.
What is the definition of palliative care in a health care setting?
Palliative Hospice care is a somewhat redundant way to describe Hospice care. Let's break it down. Palliative care: Care focused primarily on pain and symptom management. It's often prescribed for those with chronic pain or with conditions that cause chronic symptoms that are difficult to manage. It can be performed concurrently with other treatments such as chemotherapy and series of surgeries. Hospice care: Care focused primarily on pain and symptom management. Here is where the difference lies: Hospice is prescribed for those with terminal diagnosis and those who are no longer eligible for or interested in invasive and curative treatments. Therefore, Hospice care is ALWAYS Palliative care, but Palliative care is NOT ALWAYS Hospice care. I hope this answers your question! For more info, see my site!

Why is there a need for a palliative approach in aged care?
Although not openly discussed in American society, every single person is going to die eventually. At some point, the risks and side effects of continuing to extend life outweigh the potential gains and benefits. As patients age, the question becomes less about "how much more time" and more about "how good of time" does the patient have left. This is the point where palliative care takes over from curative or therapeutic care - you aren't trying to cure the disease or restore function, simply to control the symptoms such as pain and make the transition into death easier and less traumatic for the patient. Care is coordinated by the caregiver, and many routine but invasive medical procedures such as cancer screenings are discontinued since they will not provide significant improvements to health and are often uncomfortable and invasive. On a personal level, palliative care is much more holistic and focuses on the patient. Most patients receiving palliative care report high levels of satisfaction and connection with their caregivers - they feel cared for, rather than taken care of. There is more emotional support and a social bond formed that makes the dying process less terrifying and easier to process. Most families of patients that receive palliative care report similar things, since palliative care givers are also generally responsible for supporting the family and helping the surviving relatives cope with the changes and the eventual outcome. On a societal level, palliative care is much less expensive than curative therapy. In the United States, it is estimated that up to 50% of health care costs are incurred in the last 6 months of life, including things like routine cancer screenings in individuals with terminal organ failure. While there are obviously many necessary health costs within the last 6 months of life, there is also a great deal of wasted medical resources and money. By shifting from curative therapy to palliative care in individuals who are terminal for their disease, society saves a great deal of money in health care costs.
