Abstract：This article studies the practice paths of hospice care in rural areas through literature research and investigation.With the acceleration of urbanization,the proportion of the elderly population in rural areas has risen significantly,and the mortality rate among cancer patients is relatively high,leading to an increasing demand for rural hospice care services.However,rural hospice care services currently face numerous challenges,including constraints from traditional beliefs,low per capita income,scarcity of institutions,limited professional staff,inadequate medical insurance systems,and backward quality control management.In response to these challenges,this article proposes countermeasures such as conducting life education according to local conditions,improving medical insurance policies and regulations,establishing a graded diagnosis and treatment model of"family-village clinic-general hospital",promoting the construction of an intelligent Internet platform for hospice care,standardizing service quality management,and integrating traditional Chinese medicine into rural hospice care services.Through the joint participation of government,society,enterprises,education,and other stakeholders,additional local pilot projects for rural hospice care will be established,aiming to fulfill farmers'spiritual pursuit of dying at home and promote the healthy and sustainable development of rural hospice care services.
