EPaCCS: Electronic Palliative Care Co-ordination Systems (EPaCCS) in end of life care: evaluating their implementation and optimising future service provision.
People Involved
Project Description
It is not clear how Electronic Palliative Care Co-ordination Systems (EPaCCS) are being implemented across England, what problems healthcare professionals face in using EPaCCS, what views patients and caregivers have on EPaCCS, and how EPaCCS affect patient care. From our own work, we know that only a limited number of patients are having their preferences recorded with EPaCCS and for many this is occurring in the last few weeks of life. The UK Government initially planned for national roll-out of EPaCCS by 2020. However, NHS England have opted to review this expectation and are keen to collaborate with our team so that the evidence generated can inform future implementation.
