NICE call for evidence for End of Life Care service delivery

24th August 2016

NICE are requesting information for the guideline they are developing on End of Life Care for adults in the last year of life, specifically, on service delivery models to:

• identify people who may be entering the last year of their life
• support people to stay in their preferred place of care (e.g. out of hours services)
• facilitate smooth transitions between care settings (e.g. discharge planning teams)
• facilitate continuity and coordination of care (e.g. multidisciplinary team working)
• reduce inappropriate/avoidable hospital admissions (e.g. community health services and telehealth)
• facilitate discharge back to the community from other settings (e.g. rapid discharge pathways) 

The deadline for submission is 19 September 2016.
