End-of-life care needs a reset. Here is how it can be done

End-of-life care needs a reset. Here is how it can be done Organisations such as hospices are recognising the issues and working with designers to create more holistic solutions. Our design team at The Care Lab is working with registered charity HCA Hospice Care (Singapore's largest home hospice care provider), the Lien Foundation and Lekker Architects to create a new day hospice model in Singapore called  Oasis@Outram , which will serve patients with life-limiting illnesses. Besides  Oasis@Outram , I was involved in co-creating the service blueprint working with three inpatient hospices in Singapore: St Joseph's Home, Dover Park Hospice and Assisi Hospice. The concept of an "open hospice" was a key component of the design strategy, where we broke down the walls and engaged with the local community to shift negative perceptions. https://www.straitstimes.com/opinion/end-of-life-care-needs-a-reset-here-is-how-it-can-be-done
