Palliative care developed unevenly in Edmonton in the 1980s and early 1990s. Health care budget cuts created an opportunity for innovative redesign of palliative care service delivery. This report describes the components that were developed to build an integrated comprehensive palliative care program, the use of common clinical assessments and outcome evaluation that has been key to establishing credibility and ongoing support. Our program has continued to develop and grow with an ongoing focus on the core areas of clinical care, education, and research.
20世纪80年代至90年代初，姑息治疗在埃德蒙顿的发展并不均衡。医疗保健预算的削减为创新性重新设计姑息治疗服务提供了契机。本报告描述了构建综合全面姑息治疗项目所开发的组成部分，以及使用通用临床评估和结果评估，这对于确立可信度和持续支持至关重要。我们的项目持续发展壮大，始终专注于临床护理、教育和研究等核心领域。
