| Abstract | After years of the palliative care community calling for more open access to hospice services, pediatric patients are now eligible to receive simultaneous hospice services and disease-directed therapy. We report on five types of challenges that our team has experienced when implementing concurrent care, illustrated through case studies of three medically complex pediatric patients. |
