What is Pediatric Hospice and Palliative Medicine?

Pediatric hospice and palliative medicine is the treatment of children with life-limiting conditions to reduce suffering and improve children's quality of life. While traditional hospice care is associated with treatment during a patient's final six months of life, pediatric hospice and palliative care can begin as soon as a child is diagnosed with a serious medical condition and some patients may make a full recovery. Pediatric hospice and palliative medicine is practiced in a variety of settings, including:

Outpatient clinic or care facility
Inpatient settings such as a children's hospital
Hospice facilities or in the patients' home

Pediatric hospice and palliative medicine specialists are physicians and frequently aim to include their patients in making medical decisions. For example, younger patients may specify where they wish to receive treatment or what they would like to do during the treatment. Pediatric hospice and palliative medicine specialists also encourage patients to continue participating in educational and social activities which can be modified in format and location as necessary to best suit patients. A pediatric hospice and palliative medicine specialist may also be involved with the following:

Family assistance, such as helping families coordinate travel and medical care
Future planning, such as helping families decide on courses of treatment
Community agency partnerships, such as collaborations with local schools and churches
Sibling care, such as organizing grieving therapy and support for patients' siblings
Support groups for families and affected friends, families, and community members

While providing treatment, pediatric hospice and palliative medicine specialists may collaborate with a team of child-life specialists, counselors, specialty physicians, pediatric surgeons, respite services, and social workers, among others.
