The professional guest: Ethical challenges in home-based end-of-life care among interprofessional teams
" reveals the paradox of accountability without control: professionals bear clinical responsibility without institutional oversight while working alongside family members as untrained care partners with competing priorities.ConclusionsHome-based palliative care places professionals at the intersection of clinical responsibility and domestic sovereignty, a position for which existing frameworks offer insufficient guidance. Addressing these structural and relational challenges requires both individual-level preparation, including training in ethical decision-making in low-control environments, and systemic policy reform.
