Abstract

The integrated palliative care model proposed in this chapter involves a set of professional health and social care services, which envelop the support and assistance of family and volunteers from an empowered community capable of caring for their families and neighbors. In the context of the growing chronic care challenge to contemporary health systems, palliative care provides better quality, more cost-efficient ways of treating people at the later stages of their chronic diseases, and end of life than treating them in acute hospitals. Thus, as a key element in any chronic care strategy, palliative care shows the way forward in the design of a service delivery model truly embedded in the emerging integrated care paradigm.
