Presentation Title: Telehealth in Palliative Care: The
Clinical Impact and Efficiency of Service
Synopsis: In Australia and many other parts of the
world, the demand for palliative care services is increasing due to the aging
of the population and the increases in the prevalence of cancer and other
chronic diseases that accompany aging. In palliative care, telehealth has
been used to link people and their primary care providers with specialist
palliative care advice regardless of geographical barriers, however,
with little conclusive evidence available on outcomes and
efficiency. Therefore, in this study, we conduct a Real-World Evidence
integrated RCT to investigate the beneficiary of telehealth in home-based
palliative care in terms of symptom management, quality of life, psychological
support and service efficiency.
