title: Electronic palliative care co-ordination system: an electronic record that supports communication for end-of-life care - a pilot in Richmond, UK.
abstract: Most people prefer to die at home, however, the majority die in an acute hospital. Supporting a patient in their preferred place of care may be aided by exchange of information across sectors. Richmond piloted an electronic palliative care coordination system (EPaCCS) to enhance interprofessional communication for end-of-life care. One such EPaCCS is the Coordinate My Care (CMC) hosted by the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, now supported across London. It focused clinicians on having advance care planning conversations with patients and their carers and then documenting the outcome onto an electronic web-based record that can be shared with key healthcare professionals.
