Transitions in palliative care in the 21st century: Model of care and organization
From "Dichotomy curative or palliative" to "Synchronized, shared, combined care." From "Specific or palliative treatment" to "Specific and palliative treatment as needed." From "Prognosis as criteria for intervention of specialist services" to "Complexity/severity as criteria." From "Late identification in specialist services" to "Early identification in community and all settings." From "Rigid one-directional intervention" to "Flexible intervention." From "Passive role of patients" to "Advance care planning." From "Fragmented care" to "Integrated care."
