[Improving the care of dying persons taking center of a G-BA innovation fund's project]

Nursing home residents and hospital patients are often relocated to other facilities or within their own facility in their last days of life. This means an additional burden for those affected and their relatives. In the Avenue-Pal project, the current transfer practice of dying persons is to be recorded and analyzed. Based on this data, care guidelines for hospitals and nursing homes are to be developed. The aims are to reduce the frequency of relocation, to increase the quality of care, to improve the satisfaction of those affected and their families, but also of the nursing staff, and last but not least, to save resources. The project is funded by the Innovation Fund of the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA).
