The Nature of Suffering and the Goals of Medicine
The relief of suffering and the cure of disease must be seen as twin obligations of a medical profession that is truly dedicated to the care of the sick. Physicians’ failure to understand the nature of suffering can result in medical intervention that (though technically adequate) not only fails to relieve suffering but becomes a source of suffering itself.
Cassell, Eric, NEJM 1982;306:639-45.

Hospital –Based Palliative Care
• The patient’s perspective
• The clinician’s perspective
• The hospital’s perspective
![Page 20: Palliative Care at the End of Life Todd R. Cote MD, FAAHPM, FAAFP Program Director, University of Kentucky College of Medicine/Hospice of the Bluegrass](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c945503460f949514ec/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The patient perspective
For patients, palliative care is a key tool to:– relieve symptom distress:
– pain, nausea, dyspnea, anxiety, depression, fatigue, weakness
– navigate a complex and confusing medical system• understand the plan of care• help coordinate and control care options• “Goals of Care”
– provide practical, emotional and spiritual support for exhausted family caregivers.
– allow simultaneous palliation of suffering along with continued disease modifying treatments (no requirement to give up curative care).
![Page 21: Palliative Care at the End of Life Todd R. Cote MD, FAAHPM, FAAFP Program Director, University of Kentucky College of Medicine/Hospice of the Bluegrass](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c945503460f949514ec/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The clinician perspective
For clinicians, palliative care is a key tool to:– manage day-to-day pain and distress of
highly symptomatic and complex cases, 24/7, thus supporting the treatment plan of the primary physician
– handle repeated, intensive patient-family communications, coordination of care across settings, comprehensive discharge planning
– promote patient and family satisfaction with the quality of the care provided.
![Page 22: Palliative Care at the End of Life Todd R. Cote MD, FAAHPM, FAAFP Program Director, University of Kentucky College of Medicine/Hospice of the Bluegrass](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c945503460f949514ec/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The hospital perspective
For hospitals, palliative care is a key tool to:– effectively treat the growing number of people
with complex advanced illness– provide service excellence, patient-centered
care– increase patient and family satisfaction– improve staff satisfaction and retention – meet JCAHO quality standards– rationalize the use of hospital resources
• increase capacity, reduce costs.
