Access to Palliative Care in Canada
1A project lead at the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) in Toronto, ON.
Abstract:
Canadians are living longer and as they do so, the number of people living with life-limiting illnesses, such as cancer or kidney disease, is growing. Consequently, supporting and improving access to palliative care are goals of Canada's various health sectors. This article uses Canadian Institute for Health Information data from multiple healthcare sectors to investigate how many Canadians receive palliative care in their last year of life, how access to palliative care has changed in the past five years and what barriers to access still exist.
