Abstract

Hospice care has had an impact at many levels--on individual patients and families, on the health care industry, and on society. However, no comprehensive body of evidence has been generated that documents the impact of hospice care in terms that are meaningful to competitors, referral sources, and consumers. In part, this is because of the many challenges for evaluating hospice care. This paper describes recent efforts in the documentation of the value of hospice which have focused on outcomes measurement by individual providers rather than on large scale studies. Several groups are working to develop reliable measurement tools, to support standardized measurement in large numbers of hospices, and to collect information for benchmarking and comparison. Measurement of the impact of hospice care will set standards for other providers of end-of-life care and will document the expertise and knowledge of hospice professionals. Once established as centers of excellence in care of the dying, hospices will be well positioned for whatever delivery models may evolve for end-of-life care.

记录临终关怀的影响。
临终关怀在许多层面上产生了影响——对病人个人和家庭,对医疗保健行业,对社会。然而,目前还没有完整的证据来证明临终关怀对竞争者、转诊来源和消费者有意义的影响。在某种程度上,这是因为评估临终关怀面临许多挑战。本文描述了最近的努力,在文件的价值的安宁疗护已集中在结果测量由个人提供者,而不是大规模的研究。一些团体正在努力开发可靠的测量工具,以支持大量临终关怀的标准化测量,并为基准和比较收集信息。对安宁疗护影响的测量,将为其他生命末期疗护提供者设定标准,并将记录安宁疗护专业人员的专长与知识。一旦确立了临终关怀的卓越中心地位,临终关怀院将处于有利地位,无论临终关怀的交付模式如何发展。
