Area of Science:
- Palliative Care Research
- Health Services Research
Background:
- Home-Based Palliative Care (HBPalC) offers benefits across the healthcare continuum.
- Evidence supports HBPalC's positive impact on patients and informal caregivers.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review recent evidence on Home-Based Palliative Care (HBPalC).
- To identify future research opportunities in HBPalC.
Main Methods:
- Comprehensive literature search for recent evidence on HBPalC.
- Analysis of existing data on HBPalC effectiveness and models.
Main Results:
- High-quality data confirm the cost-effectiveness of HBPalC.
- HBPalC alleviates symptoms, reduces hospitalizations, and provides end-of-life support.
- Lack of comparative studies on different HBPalC models and research on underserved populations.
Conclusions:
- HBPalC is a valuable, cost-effective intervention.
