Miranda R, et al. - Measuring the quality of primary palliative care for older people with dementia in different countries is important in order to identify areas where improvements can be made, so researchers performed a systematic inquiry to assess the overall quality, using quality indicators (QIs), of primary palliative care for older people with dementia in three different countries (Belgium, Italy and Spain). They found a considerable variance with respect to the overall quality of primary palliative care across the countries studied, but similarities were also observed with respect to room for improvement. In this regard, similarities were particularly noted in pain measurement and prevention of avoidable hospitalizations.
