Abstract

List of national-level palliative care indicators providing a specific, evidence-based starting point on the development of palliative care, adding evidence to existence studies and allowing for replication. Furthermore, this allows for assessing national level progress and conducting comparative analysis and prospective studies. Tracking the indicators across time offers the opportunity to pool data data in a same repository that could be prospectively evaluated, allowing for trends in palliative care development at the international level.
