What outcome does RACH prioritize in its end-of-life care?

The outcome that RACH prioritizes in its end-of-life care is the improvement of patient symptoms. This approach emphasizes the importance of maximizing the quality of life for patients who are nearing the end of their lives. By focusing on alleviating pain and discomfort and addressing emotional and psychological needs, RACH ensures that patients can experience a dignified and compassionate transition. The primary goal in end-of-life care is to support patients in maintaining comfort and dignity rather than solely pursuing aggressive treatments that may not contribute positively to their overall well-being.

While reducing medical costs and boosting staff morale are important considerations in healthcare, they do not take precedence over the need to ensure that patients receive compassionate and symptom-focused care during this critical time. Focusing solely on patient survival may overlook the complexities and the nature of end-of-life situations, where maintaining quality of life often becomes the priority.
