What do Hospice and Palliative Medicine Surgeons do?
Hospice and Palliative Medicine Surgery Physicians focus on improving the quality of life for patients with severe or life-limiting illnesses by managing symptoms, providing surgical solutions, and coordinating care across an interdisciplinary team.
They combine their surgical expertise with palliative care principles to address a patient’s physical, psychological, and spiritual suffering, ensuring that surgical options are considered within a comprehensive, patient-centered care plan.
What they do
Transition to hospice: Help manage the transition to hospice care, ensuring it is a seamless process and that both the patient and their family receive additional support.
Symptom management: Address and manage complex symptoms, such as pain, nausea, or shortness of breath, that may be caused by the illness and by surgical interventions.
Surgical intervention and planning: Use surgical knowledge to provide palliative procedures that relieve symptoms or improve function, and to manage symptoms in patients with both surgical and medical conditions.
Coordinating care: Work closely with other specialists, such as oncologists, to ensure a holistic approach and help patients and families navigate the complexities of advanced illness.
Advanced care planning: Facilitate discussions about treatment options, patient goals, and advance directives to help patients and families make informed decisions about end-of-life care.
Patient and family support: Provide emotional and spiritual support by addressing psychosocial needs and fostering open communication between the patient, family, and the entire care team.
