[Outpatient palliative medicine : Attitudes in the care of palliative emergencies. Prospective questionnaire-based investigation].

CONCLUSION: Outpatient palliative care in Germany has developed very positively during the last years; however, there are still deficits in terms of optimal patient care, one of which refers to the treatment of palliative care emergencies. In this context, optimization in the cooperation between outpatient palliative care services and emergency medical services should be discussed.
