Purpose Cancer care is undergoing a conceptual shift with the introduction of the principles of patient-centered care to support patients’ individual needs. These needs include those related to hospitality during cancer treatments. This paper aims to provide an extension of the supportive care framework by bringing in the hospitality approach inspired by the hotel industry. Method The “Lausanne Hospitality Model,” integrating hospitality into supportive care, was developed through an iterative process, combining expertise in supportive care and health services research, communication, and the hotel industry. Results This conceptual paper integrates hospitality and service sciences into the supportive care framework. The “Lausanne Hospitality Model” offers new insights into the notions of cancer journey, patient experience, services, and practices that may be involved when facilitating hospitality. While most concepts used in the model are based on prior research, they have not been combined previously. The model highlights the place of hospitality in the patient’s experience within cancer services and, by extension, its role in professional practice. Conclusion Practices involved in the delivery of cancer care need to reinforce the importance attributed to hospitality services, as they impact patients’ experiences. By integrating the hospitality perspective into healthcare delivery and supportive care, this paper addresses previously theoretically overlooked aspects that impact patients’ experiences during cancer care.
