State of Integration of Palliative Care at National Cancer Institute–Designated and Nondesignated Cancer Centers
Menée aux Etats-Unis, cette étude analyse l’état actuel de l’intégration des services de soins palliatifs dans deux types de centres de lutte contre les cancers
Timely integration of specialist palliative care (PC) to oncologic care is associated with improved patient outcomes.Although several studies have examined supportive and palliative care services at US cancer centers, none to our knowledge have assessed the level of integration using a standardized set of indicators. In this study, we compared the level of integration between National Cancer Institute (NCI)–designated and non–NCI-designated cancer centers.
