Article Synopsis
- Measuring the palliative care needs of patients with multiple illnesses and their families is crucial for quality clinical care, particularly for those with heart failure and vascular dementia.
- The integrated palliative care outcome scale (IPOS) was used to gather data from both patients and their family caregivers to identify and compare their needs.
- Findings revealed strong agreement on palliative care needs between patients and caregivers, and importantly, patient IPOS scores were able to predict both heart failure health status and caregiver burden.
