The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...

Area of Science:

Oncology
Palliative Care
Health Economics

Background:

Early palliative care (ePC) is increasingly recognized in cancer care.
Sustainable clinical implementation faces practical challenges, notably funding.
This article examines economic considerations of different ePC models.

Purpose of the Study:

To discuss economic aspects of early palliative care implementation.
To differentiate between specialist and general ePC approaches.
To inform healthcare providers and policymakers on cost implications.

Main Methods:

Review of existing literature on specialist ePC trials.
Analysis of resource utilization data from ePC studies.
Discussion of cost-saving potentials for inpatient and outpatient settings.

Main Results:

Specialist ePC, often outpatient-based, has associated costs, with limited existing funding models.
Inpatient ePC demonstrates cost-savings, increasing with earlier integration.
Strengthening general palliative care involves measures like training and routine assessments, with potential cost offsets from reduced futile treatments.

Conclusions:

Distinguishing between specialist and general ePC concepts is crucial for accurate cost estimation.
A combined approach integrating specialist palliative care within standard care is recommended.
While additional resources may be needed, public health cost-savings are anticipated.
