Availability of home palliative care services and dying at home in conditions needing palliative care: A population-based death certificate study.
CONCLUSION: Specialised home palliative care services may be suboptimal, and primary care services may serve as a key access point in providing baseline palliative care to people with conditions needing palliative care. Therefore, primary care services should aim to enhance their palliative care workforce.
