Purpose: Several studies have identified differences in end-of-life (EOL) care between urban and rural areas, yet little is known about potential differences in care processes or family evaluations of care. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between rurality of residence and quality of EOL care within the Veterans Affairs health care system.
Methods: This study was a retrospective, cross-sectional analysis of 126,475 veterans who died from October 2009 through September 2016 in inpatient settings across 151 facilities.
Background: Few studies have examined comprehensively racial/ethnic variations in quality of end-of-life care.
Objective: Examine end-of-life care quality received by Veterans and their families, comparing racial/ethnic minorities to nonminorities.
Research Design: This is a retrospective, cross-sectional analysis of chart review and survey data.
