I have informed the patient and/or SDM about the philosophy of hospice palliative care* which focuses on supporting any issues that may arise including physical, disease management, psychological, social, spiritual, practical, loss, grief and end of life / death management. The goal is to provide management of pain and other symptoms to achieve comfort, reduce suffering and improve the quality of life and dying.
