Hospice Care defined‘Hospice is not a place, but a concept for healthcare delivery to those dealing with life‐limiting illness. Hospice focuses on creating a natural and comfortable end‐of‐life experience for those confronted with a terminal condition. Through a range of palliative, medical, nursing, psychosocial, and spiritual care provided by an interdisciplinary team of experts, hospice seeks to manage symptoms and provide comfort when cure is no longer possible’.

Dying at home is a choice
The Better Access to Palliative Care program is funded by the Australian Government. Proud Program Partners are Tasmanian Association for Hospice & Palliative Care, The District Nurses, hospice@HOME and the Tasmanian Government.
• Dying at home can be a reality when we meet the gaps that incur in fragmented care arrangements.
• “When good end of life services are available, people are much more likely to die at home. They are more satisfied with care, and less likely to be admitted to hospital or visit emergency departments. They also have lower overall healthcare costs…” (Swerisson & Duckett, 2014)

A bit more about packages of care for the future

• A package of care for the future should include the option for people to die in their own home.
• The average cost for a package is much more economical than the cost incurred for people in the acute care sector
• Cost Savings can be achieved for the Health System though delivering this approach of care BUT more importantly it has Quality of Life improvement.
