Document Summary

Deliver the best quality of life to patients. Only about 1 in 10 receive palliative care and 1 in 6 die at home. The canadian virtual hospice: not necessarily the most beneficial for the patient but answers many questions. At home: publicly funded, home necessities come out of pocket.
