Evaluating the Association Between the Implementation of the PoET (Prevention of Error-Based Transfers) Southwest Spread Project and Palliative Care Provision: A Quasi-Experimental Matched Cohort Study Using Population-Level Health Administrative Data

The PoET (Prevention of Error-based Transfers) project seeks to align long-term care (LTC) home informed consent practices to existing legislation, thereby reducing consent-related error-based transfers to acute care. We sought to measure changes in resident-level palliative care provision after participating in the PoET Southwest Spread Project (PSSP), and to identify patient and LTC home characteristics associated with palliative care provision.
