ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Payment models for palliative care vary across nations, with few adopting contemporary payments designs that apply to other parts of the health system.AIM:
To propose optimal payment arrangements for palliative care.APPROACH:
Review of relevant literature on funding mechanisms in health care generally and palliative care in particular.RESULTS:
Payment models for palliative care should move toward activity-based funding using an agreed classification, be uncapped funding with performance monitoring, and make explicit use of performance metrics and reporting.CONCLUSIONS:
If palliative care is to become a universally accessible service, new approaches to funding, based on the experience of funding reforms in other parts of the health system, need to be adopted.Palavras-chave
