Area of Science:

  • Palliative Care
  • Health Services Research
  • Geriatric Medicine

Background:

  • Israel's home-based hospice model is supported by unique public-private systems.
  • Little is known about the utilization trends of home hospice services in Israel.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze 10-year trends in patient diagnoses, length of stay (LOS), and discharge patterns within Israel's home hospice program.
  • To understand the evolving demographics and care needs of home hospice recipients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cohort study of 25,673 patients admitted to Sabar Health's home hospice program (2014-2023).
  • Analysis of demographic and clinical data, categorized by primary diagnosis (Cancer, dementia, end-organ failure, frailty, neurodegenerative disease).
  • Assessment of trends in enrollment, LOS, and live discharge rates over the study period.

Main Results:

  • Annual cancer patient proportion decreased from 88.6% to 57.8%; dementia admissions rose from 0% to 19.6% (2014-2023).
  • Median LOS increased from 20 to 35 days, with longest durations for dementia and neurodegenerative diseases.
  • Live discharge rates increased, notably in the dementia group (12.2% to 20%), with more discharges after 180 days.

Conclusions:

  • Home hospice care in Israel shows significant evolution, serving a more diverse population with complex conditions.
  • There is an increasing need for flexible eligibility criteria, better prognostic tools, and enhanced caregiver support.
  • The findings underscore the necessity of adapting hospice frameworks to accommodate patients with prolonged and uncertain prognoses.
