Summary

The overall objective of this study is to identify whether the systematic anticipation of highly structured specialized palliative home care into primary care influences the quality of care and care utilization. Quality of care focusses on the sense of security of patients and family caregivers, satisfaction with care of patients, family caregivers, general practitioners, home care nurses and specialized palliative care nurses, and availability and access to advanced directives. Health care utilization focus on the number of hospitalizations and the length of hospital stays.
