Electronic Palliative Care Co-ordination Systems (EPaCCS) National Data Project

Electronic Palliative Care Co-ordination Systems (EPaCCS) enable the recording and sharing of people’s care preferences and key details about end of life care.

Last year NEoLCIN undertook a study to better understand the impact of EPaCCS nationally, look at geographical variations in EPaCCS data, understand the potential challenges/barriers and opportunities associated with collating EPaCCS data. The study also explored the effectiveness of EPaCCS in achieving people’s preferences for care and supporting the co-ordination of care and advance care planning.
