Summary
This retrospective descriptive study aims to describe the sociodemographic, clinical, and organizational characteristics of patients identified as receiving palliative care who died in 2024 within the NOVO Hospital network. Data from medical records will include patient characteristics, involvement of general practitioners, use of palliative care services, healthcare utilization, and conditions of death. The study hypothesizes that improved characterization of these patients and their care trajectories will help identify opportunities for earlier palliative care referral and better coordination between hospital and community care.
