Background:
There are multiple models for integrating hospital-based palliative care into healthcare systems. Further research is needed to inform best practice palliative care provision in hospitals.
Aims:
To identify palliative care delivery models in hospitals.
Methods:
A systematic scoping review was performed by an extensive search in PubMed, EMBASE, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect and Magiran to recognise relevant publications that reported hospital-based palliative care delivery models/frameworks from 2010 to 2024. A Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool was used for quality assessment of the retrieved reports.
Findings:
A total 28 reports were identified that described six broad classes of hospital-based palliative care models/frameworks. The delineated models included provider-based, technology-based, element-based, issue-based, time-based and standards-based.
Conclusions:
This study draws on insights from hospital-based palliative care models to support decision-makers in adopting evidence-informed palliative care delivery models and frameworks, while promoting alignment between organisational missions and quality improvement strategies.
Implications For Practice:
Findings can inform context-sensitive, evidence-informed interventions to address barriers to integrating palliative care into routine hospital services, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, and improve timely access for patients and their next of kin.

The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...
