Timely access to appropriate information, care and support is critical to enabling people with palliative care needs to spend more days in their preferred place care, which is typically their own home. Achieving this vision requires the development of new and more responsive models of care that can provide access to timely care and support 24 hours a day.

This coverage is required so that people with palliative care needs can access the physical, psycho-social, and spiritual care they need to become comfortable at home at any time of the day and night. Understanding the best way of providing responsive community-based palliative care, and determining how available digital health technology may assist with this process, is an important first step in planning a new model of community palliative care.

This co-design project is designed to define the key elements required to deliver optimal 24-hour, seven-day-per-week care to people with palliative care needs who wish to spend as many days as possible at home. It will achieve this by:

  1. identifying and combining the available global knowledge;
  2. seeking the input of consumers, health professionals and identified digital health providers, and
  3. collaboratively co-designing a new model of care.

The project findings will form the basis for collaboratively developing a new model of care with key stakeholders that integrates best-available evidence and digital health technological solutions to enable people with palliative care needs to spend more days at home.
