    AbstractWith more and more people choosing to die at home, palliative care is an increasingly important field. The challenge for those of us working in the field is to develop a comprehensive system of care that will provide high quality, in-home support. Such support involves a large network of formal and informal caregivers--family members, caregiving friends, homemakers and a variety of health care providers--who collaborate together and with the individual to provide holistic care. Thus, co-ordination, collaboration and communication are essential if this network is to meet the physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs of the dying and their families.
