Objectives: This study aimed to promote quality end-of-life (EOL) care for nursing home residents, through the establishment of advance care plan (ACP) and introduction of a new care pathway. This pathway bypassed the emergency room (ER) and acute medical wards by facilitating direct clinical admission to an extended-care facility.
Design: An audit on a new clinical initiative that entailed the Community Geriatrics Outreach Service, ER, acute medical wards, and an extended-care facility during winter months in Hong Kong.
