Research Study

A Non-Inferiority Comparative Effectiveness Trial of Home-Based Palliative Care in Older Adults (HomePal)

The aim of this pragmatic trial is to compare the effects of a standard home-based palliative care (HBPC) model to a more efficient tech-supported model that includes remote physician supervision/consultation on patient symptom burden and days spent at home in the last 6 months of life and family caregiving preparedness.
