Background: The promise of real-world evidence and the learning health care system primarily depends on access to high-quality data. Despite widespread awareness of the prevalence and potential impacts of poor data quality (DQ), best practices for its assessment and improvement are unknown.
Objective: This review aims to investigate how existing research studies define, assess, and improve the quality of structured real-world health care data.
Article Synopsis
- Health-related suffering in low- and middle-income countries is expected to double by 2060, making primary palliative care essential for achieving equitable Universal Health Coverage.
- A systematic review highlighted five main types of primary palliative care delivery, including services offered in clinics, homes, and hospitals, along with the barriers and facilitators for effective implementation.
- Current evidence on primary palliative care in these regions is limited, with a significant portion of literature coming from Asia and southern Africa, indicating a need for tailored approaches that address the unique health system strengths and challenges in low- and middle-income countries.
