title: Hospice: a design for home care for the terminally ill.
abstract: Hospice may appropriately be understood as a model of holistic care. As a model of holistic care, hospice provides numerous insights suitable for adoption in other health care settings. In addition, hospice provides a preeminent opportunity for nurses to practice within a nursing model; at the present time, nursing goals may be pursued more freely within hospice than in any other setting.
