An Active In-Home Physician Model of Palliative Care and Its Resulting Performance Indicators Related to Home Deaths, Unplanned Emergency Department Visits and Unplanned Hospital Admissions.

Studies to determine if this model is reproducible could support palliative care teams achieving similar results. PMID: 32808567 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
