Outcomes and evaluation
Queensland Health is responsible for leading the implementation of the Strategy and driving the reform of palliative care service delivery in Queensland. We will work closely with our partners and stakeholders to deliver the Strategy’s actions.
The Strategy will be evaluated to make sure outcomes have been delivered. Undertaking an evaluation will help us to understand the impact of the Strategy and identify areas for future improvement.
The high-level outcomes for the strategy are:
Outcomes
* More Queenslanders with life-limiting illness receive palliative care.
* Improved equity of access to palliative care across health system regions and resident populations.
* Information about palliative and end-of-life care is available and accessed by Queenslanders with life-limiting illness, their families and carers.
* Queenslanders with life-limiting illness receive care in alignment with their preferences.
* Families and carers are supported while providing care for someone with a life-limiting illness and during bereavement.
* A multidisciplinary, skilled workforce provides quality care to people with life-limiting illness.
* Data collection and research inform service development, delivery of care, monitoring and quality improvement.
* Government supports the Strategy through funding, advocacy, coordinated leadership and accountability.
