“…It has previously been found that participants mentioned cooperation only when it did not succeed [28]. The results from our parallel questionnaire study showed that 89% of GPs and district nurses were satisfied with the cooperation with the homecare team [16]. Thus, the cooperation between the homecare team and the GPs/district nurses seemed to have succeeded, as no patients or carers reported counteraction.…”

“…The way health care is financed and organised affects the delivery of palliative care [8]. This is especially true for palliative home care, as home care in countries with an extensive primary healthcare system often aims towards cooperation between specialists and primary care [16,52], while countries with less extensive primary health care have to organise palliative home care differently.…”

“…Several benefits to palliative home care have been described including: increased satisfaction of family/caregivers with the care provided, 142,143 decreased time spent in the hospital at the end of life, [144][145][146] and improved general practitioner knowledge of symptom management. 147 One study has shown that incorporating a palliative care program into an existing home care program results in improved satisfaction with care, fewer emergency room visits, and decreased costs. 148 More research is needed to define the most effective strategies for providing palliative care in patients' homes.…”

The majority of deaths in the United States occur in the geriatric population. These older adults often develop multiple chronic medical problems and endure complicated medical courses with a variety of disease trajectories. Palliative care physicians need to be skilled in addressing the needs of these frail elders with life-limiting illness as they approach the end of life. Although geriatrics and palliative medicine share much in common, including an emphasis on optimizing quality of life and function, geriatric palliative care is distinct in its focus on the geriatric syndromes and on the provision of care in a variety of long-term care settings. Expertise in the diagnosis and management of the geriatric syndromes and in the complexities of long-term care settings is essential to providing high-quality palliative care to the elderly patient. This paper is a practical review of common geriatric syndromes, including dementia, delirium, urinary incontinence, and falls, with an emphasis on how they may be encountered in the palliative care setting. It also highlights important issues regarding the provision of palliative care in different long-term care settings.

En France, les médecins généralistes (MG) perçoi-vent des difficultés dans la pratique des soins palliatifs à domicile. Des études les décrivent, mais aucune n'évalue l'impact d'une collaboration avec une équipe pluridisciplinaire. Entre 2005 et 2008, la collaboration de 291 MG avec un réseau est étudiée. Leurs réponses à un questionnaire pointent les bénéfices de ce partenariat. L'analyse approfondie de 36 cas de collaboration précise les causes des difficultés et l'influence du réseau.Mots clés Cancérologie clinique · Soins de support · Réseau de santé · Médecins généralistes · Soins à Domicile Abstract In France, general practitioners (GPs) express difficulties in exercise of home palliative care. Those difficulties are described in various studies but none assesses the multidisciplinary collaboration's impact. In the present study (2005)(2006)(2007)(2008), 291 GPs included in a palliative care network responded to a questionnaire. Results showed the benefits of this partnership organization. Detailed analysis of 36 collaboration cases clarified the reasons for these difficulties and the network influence.
