The aim of the PalliSupport project is to improve care for older patients at the end-of-life by overcoming barriers and consequently reduce hospital (re)admissions at the end-of-life, reduce symptom burden and facilitate patients dying at their place of preference.

The PalliSupport project is part of the Consortium Palliative Care Noord-Holland and Flevoland and funded by the Palliantie-program of ZonMw (The Netherlands Organisation for Health Research and Development). The PalliSupport Project consists of an intervention - the transitional palliative care pathway -, which will be implemented and evaluated in the region using a stepped wedge cluster randomized controlled trial design. PalliSupport focuses on the needs of patients and informal caregivers and consists of educational programs, protocols, improved handover procedures and regional meetings.
