Abstract
Hospice is recognized as the model for excellence in end-of-life care but its accessibility remains limited. A committee of the National Hospice Organization recently examined the barriers to hospice care and articulated a vision for quality end-of-life care for the 21st century. Its recommendations include public policy changes and other initiatives involving research, the education and practice of health professionals, the engagement of the public, and the operation of hospice programs.
