What this trial studies

This observational study describes how patients with advanced chronic disease enter palliative care from home or via the emergency department over 2025. It aims to map care pathways, identify gaps in access to palliative care, and understand how early integration affects outcomes. The investigation focuses on routine practice in a French tertiary center and examines the flow of patients from home to specialized palliative services. No interventions are imposed; data will be collected from clinical records to characterize patterns and potential bottlenecks. Results may inform improvements in care coordination and resource use for palliative care services.
