The Advanced Illness/Palliative Care (AIPC) program started as a 2-year pilot project to determine if a telehealth model of care would benefit veteran patients with life-limiting illness. The goals of the project were to manage the physical, emotional, functional, and spiritual care needs during the last 2 years of patients' lives and to foster an earlier enrollment of patients into hospice by educating providers about palliative care. The AIPC program partners the skills and expertise of both spiritual and medical care practitioners, along with cutting-edge home telehealth devices to improve symptom management and quality of life for veterans and families coping with end of life.
晚期疾病/姑息治疗（AIPC）项目最初是一个为期两年的试点项目，旨在确定远程医疗护理模式是否会使患有危及生命疾病的退伍军人患者受益。该项目的目标是在患者生命的最后两年管理其身体、情感、功能和精神护理需求，并通过对医疗服务提供者进行姑息治疗教育，促使患者更早地进入临终关怀。AIPC项目将精神和医疗护理从业者的技能与专业知识相结合，同时配备前沿的家庭远程医疗设备，以改善应对生命末期的退伍军人及其家人的症状管理和生活质量。
