With more and more people choosing to die at home, palliative care is an increasingly important field. The challenge for those of us working in the field is to develop a comprehensive system of care that will provide high quality, in-home support. Such support involves a large network of formal and informal caregivers--family members, caregiving friends, homemakers and a variety of health care providers--who collaborate together and with the individual to provide holistic care. Thus, co-ordination, collaboration and communication are essential if this network is to meet the physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs of the dying and their families.
随着越来越多的人选择在家中离世，姑息治疗成为一个日益重要的领域。对于我们这些从事该领域工作的人来说，挑战在于建立一个全面的护理体系，以提供高质量的居家支持。这种支持涉及一个由正式和非正式护理人员组成的庞大网络——家庭成员、提供护理的朋友、家政人员以及各类医疗保健提供者——他们共同协作，并与患者本人一起提供全面护理。因此，如果这个网络要满足临终者及其家人的身体、心理、社会和精神需求，协调、协作和沟通至关重要。
