    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Management
    • Thanatology
    • Palliative Care

    Background:

    • Community hospitals are expanding services, yet often lack adequate programs for terminally ill patients.
    • Existing end-of-life care models and thanatology literature reveal significant gaps in institutional support.
    • There is a recognized need for enhanced care strategies for dying patients within community healthcare settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a comprehensive, team-based model program for improving end-of-life care in community hospitals.
    • To integrate existing resources and expertise to better serve terminally ill patients and their families.
    • To provide a replicable framework for hospitals seeking to enhance their palliative and hospice services.

    Main Methods:

    • A thorough review of current hospital care programs for the terminally ill was conducted.
    • Extensive research was performed on thanatology (the study of death and dying) literature.
    • A model program was conceptualized based on findings from the literature review and program study, emphasizing a multidisciplinary team approach.

    Main Results:

    • A structured, team-oriented hospital program model for the care of terminally ill patients has been developed.
    • The model integrates various resources to provide holistic support for patients and their families during the end-of-life journey.
    • This approach aims to enhance the quality of care and support provided by community hospitals.

    Conclusions:

    • Community hospitals require improved strategies for end-of-life care delivery.
    • The developed model program offers a practical, team-based solution for enhancing care for the terminally ill.
    • Implementing such a program can significantly improve patient and family experiences during terminal illness.
