Summary

Lien Centre for Palliative Care has been commissioned by Lien Foundation to produce the 2020 rankings of the Quality of End of Life Care across countries. This index will focus on patients with life limiting illnesses and their families and aims to produce an index and rankings that take into account the preferences of patients, their caregivers and providers in terms of what is truly important at end of life. The aim of this research is to investigate best practices in palliative care policy and implementation as they relate to end-of-life care for individuals with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions. This task will be completed through a systematic review of peer reviewed and grey literature, supplemented with qualitative interviews to identify the list of the candidate indicators to be used in the index. A final instrument when completed by country experts will allow for ranking countries in their ability to deliver high quality end of life care.
