Hospice

Hospice is a model of compassionate and comprehensive care for terminally ill patients and their families. Coursera's hospice skill catalogue teaches you about the underlying philosophy, multidisciplinary team structure, patient assessment, pain and symptom management, and support services associated with hospice care. You'll learn about the holistic approach to end-of-life care that encompasses physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. You'll also deepen your understanding of patient rights, ethical considerations, bereavement support, and the administrative aspects of hospice care. This knowledge will equip you to provide the highest quality of comfort and dignity to those facing life-limiting illnesses and their loved ones.
