This episode features Professor Matthew Allsop (Leeds Institute
of Health Sciences, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK) who
describes a study that outlined and applied an evaluation
framework to examine how and when electronic documentation of
advance care planning is occurring in end of life
care services.
The study extracted data from electronic palliative care
coordination systems for 82 of 108 general practices across a
large UK city.
This study reports the first methodology for evaluating how and
when electronic palliative care coordination systems
documentation is occurring. It raises questions about what can be
drawn from routine data collected through electronic
palliative care coordination systems and
outlines considerations for future evaluation.. Full paper
