Integrated palliative care is viewed as having the potential to improve service coordination, efficiency, and quality outcomes for patients and family carers. However, the majority of Canadians do not have access to regional, comprehensive, integrated palliative care. Work needs to be directed toward planning palliative care services that is integrated into the healthcare and social care system. To further this goal, it is important to have a conceptual understanding of the meaning of integrated care and its expression in organizational models for the provision of palliative care.
综合姑息治疗被认为有潜力改善患者和家庭护理者的服务协调、效率和质量结果。然而，大多数加拿大人无法获得区域、全面、综合的姑息治疗。需要致力于规划姑息治疗服务，将其纳入医疗保健和社会保健系统。为了进一步实现这一目标，重要的是要从概念上理解综合护理的含义及其在姑息治疗提供的组织模式中的表现。
