Electronic Palliative Care Co-Ordination Systems (EPaCCS): devising and testing a methodology for evaluating documentation - a podcast by SAGE Publications Ltd.

This episode features Professor Matthew Allsop (Leeds Institute of Health Sciences, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK) who describes a study that outlined and applied an evaluation framework to examine how and when electronic documentation of advance care planning is occurring in end of life care services.

The study extracted data from electronic palliative care coordination systems for 82 of 108 general practices across a large UK city. 

This study reports the first methodology for evaluating how and when electronic palliative care coordination systems documentation is occurring. It raises questions about what can be drawn from routine data collected through electronic palliative care coordination systems and outlines considerations for future evaluation..
