Abstract
This paper presents an initial argument for occupational therapists, as individuals, and the Association collectively, to examine the background, rationale and urgency in making an immediate and firm commitment to America's and Britain's newest and perhaps most innovative “health” delivery system. Sociological “standards” that will impinge on the hospice movement will be examined. An examination of standard practice concepts between acute general rehabilitation hospitals, and continuing care facilities (nursing homes) will be measured and compared with hospice philosophy. An example of occupational therapy in a hospice setting will be presented.
