Hospice specialized institutions have medical and nursing equipment, certain recreational facilities, a family-oriented critical care ward setup, a companion system suitable for hospice care, and certain professional staff to provide services for terminally ill patients.
Hospice care is not only a service, but also an emerging fringe discipline that explores the physiological and psychological development of terminally ill patients and provides comprehensive care for terminally ill patients, and is closely related to a wide range of disciplines such as medicine, nursing, psychology, and sociology.
