Abstract
<p class="first" id="d5645982e177">Serious illness is often characterised by physical/psychological
problems, family
support needs, and high healthcare resource use. Hospital-based specialist palliative
care (HSPC) has developed to assist in better meeting the needs of patients and their
families and potentially reducing hospital care expenditure. There is a need for clarity
on the effectiveness and optimal models of HSPC, given that most people still die
in hospital and also to allocate scarce resources judiciously.
