What do Hospice and Palliative Medicine Pediatricians do?
Pediatric hospice and palliative medicine physicians focus on improving the quality of life for children with serious illnesses and their families by providing expert pain and symptom management, emotional support, and assistance with medical decision-making.
They work with an interdisciplinary team to relieve suffering, coordinate care across settings (such as home and hospital), and support the entire family throughout the illness and during bereavement.
This care can be provided alongside other treatments aimed at curing the illness.
What they do
Advocacy and education: They often advocate for policy changes to improve access to care and provide education for families and other healthcare professionals.
Symptom and pain management: Physicians manage physical symptoms such as pain, nausea, shortness of breath, and fatigue to improve the child’s comfort.
Emotional and psychosocial support: They help children and families cope with emotional distress, anxiety, and grief associated with the illness.
Care coordination: They work with other healthcare providers, including social workers, child life specialists, and nurses, to ensure seamless care across different medical teams and settings.
Medical decision-making support: They facilitate clear, compassionate communication with families to help them understand their child’s condition and make informed decisions aligned with their values.
Family-centered care: The physician’s care model recognizes that the family is a unit, providing support to parents, siblings, and other family members, including bereavement support after the child’s death.
Integration with other care: They can collaborate with other specialists to provide palliative care alongside curative treatments, a model known as “concurrent care” for eligible children.
