    AbstractPalliative home care supports the quality of life (QOL) of a patient and family as a whole. Team care is an effective method corresponding to the various needs of the patient and family. Cooperation of various types of professions can meet the need for high-quality outpatient medical care. Social work serves as a coordinator of the care team. One of its important tasks in palliative home care is support of the patient discharge procedure from the hospital. Discharge from the hospital must be carried out before the patient's condition worsens. Prompt support of the discharge is indispensable so that the patient may spend substantial time with high QOL at home. Palliative home care means care for the dying. Therefore, spirituality issues are important. Palliative home care must respect and understand the spirituality of the patient and family. The patient can be discharged from the hospital in peace when there is general support for the physical, psycho-social and spiritual needs of both patient and family.
