When is it negative for a hospital patient to go to the hospital?

Hospitalization is warranted if the injury or illness is unrelated to the hospice diagnosis, such as a patient with terminal cancer, a broken bone, or other accident-related injury. The goal of hospice care is to improve the patient’s quality oflife, not to treat the disease, which is the goal of the hospital in providing its services. When a patient arrives at the hospital for hospice care, they cancel hospice care.
