Implementation of a Care Pathway for Primary Palliative Care in 5 research clusters in Belgium: quasi-experimental study protocol and innovations in data collection (pro-SPINOZA)

Abstract: BackgroundStarting with early identification of palliative care patients by general practitioners (GPs), the Care Pathway for Primary Palliative Care (CPPPC) is believed to help primary health care workers to deliver patient- and family-centered care in the last year of life. The care pathway has been pilot-tested, and will now be implemented in 5 Belgian regions: 2 Dutch-speaking regions, 2 French-speaking regions and the bilingual capital region of Brussels. The overall aim of the CPPPC is to provide better … Show more

“…Internationally, some projects pioneered early identification of palliative care needs and subsequent integrated palliative care [ 4 ]. The Belgian ‘Care Pathway for Primary Palliative Care’ (CPPPC) is one of such [ 4 , 5 ]. This CPPPC [ 5 ] was developed by the Primary and Interdisciplinary Care Department at the University of Antwerp, inspired by the Gold Standard Framework [ 6 ].…”

“…It is an approach of care provided not only by specialists but by generalists, with the help of providing quality care at home, in the course of illness and at the end of their life. However, it is necessary to train the primary health care professionals (PHC), with the collaboration of specialists and non-specialists, through an organized care network 3 , since PHC is the gateway for users in the health system and to communicating with the entire health care network. 4 Health care networks (HCN) are considered as the solution to the problem of the fragmentation of care by levels of care.…”
