    Area of Science:

    • Palliative Care
    • Health Services Research
    • Program Evaluation

    Background:

    • The growing hospice care sector necessitates robust methods for accountability and program assessment.
    • Effective evaluation is crucial for ensuring quality and efficacy in terminal care services.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine program evaluation goals, tasks, and conceptual models pertinent to terminal care.
    • To assess the applicability of experimental designs and time-series analysis in hospice program evaluation.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and conceptual analysis of program evaluation frameworks.
    • Discussion of the utility and limitations of experimental designs in hospice settings.
    • Exploration of time-series analysis for evaluating trends in terminal care programs.

    Main Results:

    • Identified diverse goals and models for hospice program evaluation.
    • Highlighted the potential and challenges of applying experimental designs.
    • Demonstrated the relevance of time-series analysis for ongoing program assessment.

    Conclusions:

    • Program evaluation in hospice care requires tailored approaches considering its unique context.
    • Both experimental designs and time-series analysis offer valuable, albeit distinct, methodologies for hospice evaluation research.
