| Summary: | In the 21st century, Japan has carried out hospice care services, and developed a sound home-based hospice care system to address the social issues of "fewer children, more older people". And the development of the system is also a key part of Japan's healthcare provision system reform. We introduced Japan's home-based hospice care in terms of concept and ideas, provision institutions, providers and service profile, as well as laws ensuring corresponding imbursement, and put forward the following recommendations for the development of home-based hospice care and for the protection of rights and interests of older people to pass away at home via a sound system design in China: improving the laws about hospice care under appropriate conditions, stably developing home-based hospice care during the implementation of the current healthcare provision system, establishing and improving a collaborative mechanism in providing hospice care, and providing essential financial support for the development of home-based hospice care.
