The impact of public health palliative care interventions on health system outcomes: A systematic review.

CONCLUSION: The impact of public health palliative care is an evolving area of empirical inquiry with currently only limited evidence that it improves healthcare utilisation outcomes at the end of life, and limited focus on measurement of these outcomes. Further empirical studies are needed to support the reorientation of health services, which remains an important component in realising 'whole of system change' to bring about quality end-of-life care for all.
