By Marcelle Miranda da Silva, Thayna Silva de Assis Barros, Maria da Conceição Albernaz Crespo and 4 others.
Abstract
Background
Home-based palliative cancer care coordinated by primary care has been proposed as a strategy to improve access, continuity, and alignment with patient preferences, but its organizational characteristics and effects remain insufficiently synthesized.
Aim
The aim was to characterize the organizational components of home-based palliative care models for patients with advanced cancer coordinated by primary care and to evaluate the effects of these models on patient-related and health system outcomes.
