ABSTRACT

In present days we face specific care requirements to patients with advanced, chronic-degenerative or terminal diseases. Its prevalence has increased in last two decades, mainly in geriatric population. Palliative care to patients in terminal phase concept fights for insert in public and private health care systems. Independently of its clinical characteristics and care needs, its ubiquity in every area of every nation’s health care system is one of its major aspects; if there aren’t specific measures to respond, health care resources use (mostly in hospital) will increase, and economic, family and institutional costs will be so high without giving patients a better quality of life. These force health care systems to implement coverage and service programs to correctly give palliative care assistance to terminal patients.
