The current healthcare model overlooks the patient experience during end-of-life care. Focusing on the patient

Area of Science:

  • Palliative Care
  • Medical Sociology

Background:

  • The current healthcare system often prioritizes medical interventions over the holistic experience of dying patients.
  • End-of-life care models frequently concentrate on clinical status rather than the patient's lived journey.

Observation:

  • The patient's journey towards death is obscured by complex care structures.
  • There is a disconnect between medical management and the patient's subjective experience of dying.

Findings:

  • The dominant focus in end-of-life care is on the patient's medical condition, not their personal experience.
  • The complex nature of care delivery masks the individual's journey through the dying process.

Implications:

  • Reorienting care models to center the patient's experience is crucial for improving end-of-life care.
