A veterinary palliative care service was developed as a specialty service in 2006 at a large, nonprofit teaching veterinary hospital. The service originally was conceived as a pain medicine service, but quickly refocused on palliative care because a need was evident. The Pain and Palliative Care Service at Angell Animal Medical Center is structured primarily as an outpatient service, but does provide consultation services for hospitalized patients. The goals of the service, appointment structure, referral relationships, client communication issues, and practitioner sustainability are described in detail in this article as an aid to development of similar services.
2006年,一家大型非营利性教学兽医医院将兽医姑息治疗服务发展成为一项专业服务。该服务最初被设想为疼痛医学服务,但很快就重新聚焦于姑息治疗,因为需求很明显。安吉尔动物医疗中心的疼痛与姑息治疗服务主要作为门诊服务构建,但也为住院患者提供咨询服务。本文详细描述了该服务的目标、预约结构、转诊关系、与客户沟通的问题以及从业者的可持续性,以帮助发展类似服务。
