Tele Palliative Care frequently asked questions
Tele Palliative Care uses telemedicine technology to connect hospitals with board-certified palliative care specialists, to support patients with serious or life-limiting illnesses. These services focus on improving quality of life by addressing physical symptoms, emotional needs, and complex medical decisions, ensuring timely and compassionate care for patients and their families.
While both focus on comfort and quality of life, palliative care can be provided at any stage of a serious illness—not just at the end of life. Hospice care is a type of palliative care for patients nearing the end of life who are no longer pursuing curative treatment.
Tele Palliative Care supports patients living with serious or life-limiting illnesses who need assistance with managing symptoms, improving comfort, and navigating complex care decisions. Common patient populations include:

- Individuals with severe pain, fatigue, or debilitating symptoms
- Patients experiencing functional decline or unexplained weight loss
