[The G-BA innovation fund's project "Avenue-Pal" - analysis and improvement of cross-sectoral and cross-departmental interface and relocation management in palliative care]. / Das G-BA-Innovationsfonds-Projekt "Avenue-Pal" : Analyse und Verbesserung des sektor- und bereichsübergreifenden Schnittstellen- und Verlegungsmanagements in der Palliativversorgung.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: About 80% of all people in Germany die in inpatient care. Around every fifth person in inpatient care is relocated to another care area in the last phase of their life. That is more than 150,000 people being relocated, often without indication. 13 risk factors were identified for these non-indicated relocations. METHOD: With the support of the AWMF, two regionally effective guidelines were developed and implemented in a maximum care hospital and a care facility. A palliative consultation service has been established in the university hospital. Comprehensive personnel and organizational development was carried out in the care facility. Different collaborations with relevant regional partners of both model institutions were systematically expanded. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The relocations could be significantly reduced despite the short duration of the project. This was also possible through the establishment of decision-making aids and digital implementation support. The results of the accompanying ethical and social research justify the procedure There is an increase in the satisfaction of relatives and employees.
