Area of Science:

  • Palliative Care
  • Public Health
  • End-of-Life Care

Background:

  • Palliative care has established standards for end-of-life care over 60 years.
  • Key developments include specialized clinical roles, multidisciplinary teams, and community volunteer programs.
  • Current palliative care primarily serves cancer patients, leaving many with terminal illnesses without access.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the inequitable access to palliative care across all diagnoses.
  • To explore enhancing the range and quality of non-medical/nursing supportive care.
  • To propose solutions for providing equitable end-of-life care amidst diminishing resources.

Main Methods:

  • The paper reviews the evolution and current state of palliative care.
  • It identifies challenges in equitable access and resource allocation.
  • It proposes a public health approach as a potential solution.

Main Results:

  • The majority of individuals with terminal illnesses lack access to specialized palliative care teams.
  • Existing palliative care models often focus predominantly on cancer patients.
  • There is a need to broaden the scope and accessibility of supportive care.

Conclusions:

  • A public health approach offers a framework for achieving equitable end-of-life care for all individuals.
  • Integrating public health principles can enhance the reach and quality of supportive services.
  • This approach can help address resource limitations while improving care standards.
