Résumé : | This report presents, in the first part, the Quality of death index and discusses, in the three next parts, about many factors which hamper progress in the end-of-life care. The index measures the current environment for end-of-life care services across 40 countries: 30 OECD and 10 select others. The methodology used was build from a wide range of indicators, quantitative and qualitative such as life expectancy, public awareness of end-of-life care, availability of pain killers The discussion is organised in three parts : cultural issues in the end-of-life care (Attitudes to death and dying, levels of debate across the globe, the law and the decision of die, three contrasting attitudes to death) ; The economics of end-of-life care (A variety of funding models, Romania : from last to leader, Kerala : the community model, Long-stay patients shift the balance ) and Policy issues in end-of-life care ( government recognition, integration of care into mainstream services, bulding capacity for home-based care). |
