Abstract
|
|
|
|
This study aims to develop a model for assessing the needs for hospice and palliative care beds in general, and to estimate the need of terminally-ill cancer patients for hospice and palliative care beds. The assessment model was formulated through literature review and examination of relevant studies conducted in the past. As a result of applying the developed formula, it is estimated that by 2020, terminally-ill Korean cancer patients will need 1,528-1,810 beds in hospice and palliative care. This study provides a reference for decision-making in the future supply of hospice and palliative care.
