Area of Science:

  • Palliative Care Research
  • Rural Health Services
  • Program Evaluation

Background:

  • Existing palliative care quality frameworks require adaptation for rural settings.
  • Rural communities face unique challenges in delivering palliative care.
  • Enhancing quality of care for life-limiting chronic illnesses in rural areas is a priority.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development of a program assessment framework for a rural palliative supportive service.
  • To adapt existing quality principles for a community-based rural palliative care model.
  • To enhance the quality of care for rural patients and families with life-limiting illnesses.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted a literature review of palliative care quality principles in rural contexts.
  • Adapted identified principles into an assessment framework.
  • Evaluated and refined the framework with a community-based advisory committee.

Main Results:

  • Developed a 48-criterion program assessment framework for rural palliative care.
  • The framework is organized under seven key themes.
  • Themes include community embeddedness, timely/comprehensive care, access to expertise, teamwork, family partnerships, rural capacity support, and outcome measurement.

Conclusions:

  • A tailored assessment framework is essential for evaluating rural palliative care services.
  • The developed framework addresses rural strengths and challenges.
  • Further validation is needed to confirm the framework's effectiveness in improving rural palliative care outcomes.
