[Palliative Care with Regional Alliance by a University Hospital].
In this chapter, we described what the palliative care in the university hospital is doing; the role of the palliative care doctors in the university hospital, how should we consider the palliative care as a sub-speciality for anesthesiologists in the university hospital, how should we act to make the palliative care in the university hospital cooperating with community and what kind of task should anesthesiologists do cooperating with the community. In Japan, the aging of the society will be more ac- celerated in future, and our medical system for the home care and the out-of-hospital terminal care will be revised. Therefore it is necessary for the university hospitals to lead the preparation of the palliative care as a part of the community combined care system.
