The specific objective of this post is to better understand the use of the ambulance, Accident & Emergency (A&E), and inpatient hospital stay services by patients in their last year of life. The findings will contribute to the development of wider research ideas aimed at providing an evidence base for improvements to home-based palliative care, often the preferred setting for patients.
The main objectives of the project are to: (1) estimate the volume, timing, type, outcomes, and proportion of ambulance calls for end-of-life (EOL) patients (2022?2024) using NIAS data; (2) estimate A&E and hospital use by EOL patients (2014?2023) using data provided and accessed through the Honest Broker Service (HBS, situated in the Business Services Organisation, BSO) which is a Trusted Research Environment for Health and Social Care (HSC) Northern Ireland; (3) calculate hospital bed days and inpatient costs in the last year of life.
