Abstract
Purpose of review: The review aims to synthesize the most recent innovative models of palliative care being delivered in rural and remote locations.
Recent findings: Worldwide, as the ageing population grows, more people will require palliative care. However, equal availability of high-quality palliative care services remains a significant challenge, particularly in rural and remote communities. Innovative models of palliative care have been developed to address the projected need of people in rural and remote areas. Models that leverage the use of digital healthcare (such as telecare and Artificial Intelligence), the non-specialized palliative care workforce (such as GPs, pharmacists, and family carers), and community driven approaches have demonstrated success in achieving positive palliative care outcomes, such as reduced physical and emotional distress, and family carers feeling more supported.
Summary: There is a need to support people to remain within their rural and remote communities towards the end-of-life (EOL). While some models of care have been identified to help with this, there continues to be significant difficulties in access to health and social care in rural and remote areas. It is important we build on this research to understand more broadly the models of support for those living in remote and rural communities at the EOL.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
