摘要
PurposeMany assert the need for home hospice care. However, limited research has shown its effectiveness. The authors of this study thus evaluated the effectiveness of a home hospice care pilot project regarding (1) early enrollment in hospice care, (2) efficient use of inpatient hospice resources, and (3) enabling terminally ill patients to stay at their preferred place of care.MethodsThe authors conducted a nationwide prospective observational study. Patients were divided into home hospice care users (ever-users, n = 902) and inpatient-only hospice care users (never-users, n = 8210). Information about hospice service utilization was collected from a web-based registry system. Patients were registered if they started to receive the hospice service after providing written informed consent during the pilot project from March 2016-July 2017.ResultsMost ever-users preferred to stay at home (84.0%), while never-users preferred hospital admission (66.9%). Most ever-users were enrolled in hospice by home care (78.9%) and used both home and inpatient care (72.4%). The overall duration of hospice care was significantly longer among ever-users than never-users (median 39 vs. 15 days, respectively; mean SD 59.6 +/- 62.8 vs. 24.8 +/- 32.1, respectively; p < .001). Participation in the pilot program improved bed utilization (p = .025) and turnover rate (p < .001) of inpatient hospice service.Conclusions Home hospice care enabled early enrollment in hospice services and provided a valid option to patients who wished to stay at home. Policy efforts to facilitate home hospice care are needed.
