Why is hospice one of the few health care environments structured for peace?

Article indépendant

HOLT, Grayson | GLASER, Johanna

Historically, Western medicine has recognized health care environments as vital to patient well-being and enhanced clinical outcomes. Yet most modern Western hospitals are primarily designed and regulated to promote safety and minimize risk rather than to enhance comfort or serve as therapeutic environments in and of themselves. Hospice stands out as one of the few places within the Western health care service delivery system in which the structures and spaces of caregiving are viewed as key to patient-centered practice. This commentary on a case suggests the importance of designing health care environments that center patient experiences of well-being throughout the lifespan, not just at the end of life.
