Palliative care services have evolved globally, necessitating updated planning and resource allocation. A new national consensus document outlines minimum service needs to meet growing community expectations for interdisciplinary care.

Area of Science:

  • Palliative Care
  • Health Services Research
  • Healthcare Policy

Background:

  • Palliative care services have developed organically over 30 years globally.
  • Increasing community expectations and evolving World Health Organization definitions challenge current service models.
  • Many palliative care services lack adequate interdisciplinary staffing (nursing, medical, allied health).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the challenges in palliative care service planning and provision.
  • To establish a framework for meeting evolving community and professional expectations.
  • To define minimum resource needs for effective interdisciplinary palliative care.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a national consensus document through stakeholder consultation.

  • Analysis of current palliative care service structures and resource allocation.
  • Incorporation of evolving World Health Organization definitions and community expectations.

    • Main Results:

    • A national consensus document, "a planning guide," has been created.
    • The guide outlines minimum requirements for palliative care service provision.
    • The document is independent of specific funding models or service delivery structures.

    Conclusions:

    • A standardized approach is needed to guide palliative care service development.
    • The consensus document provides a foundation for equitable and adequate palliative care.
    • Addressing resource gaps is crucial for delivering interdisciplinary palliative care.
