Telecare in pediatric hospice work
Investigation of innovative care concepts and the use of telecare in pediatric palliative care
In rural areas in particular, access to healthcare services is often inadequate. This applies in particular to specialized and outreach services. One example of a particularly problematic area of care is specialized outpatient paediatric palliative care for children and adolescents.
The project addresses this problem and aims to develop strategies and organizational solutions to improve the quality and efficiency of paediatric palliative care. Digital technologies such as video communication systems and digital collaboration tools will be used for this purpose. In addition, a transfer concept for the use of these solutions will be developed on the basis of the knowledge gained, which should positively change pediatric palliative care throughout Germany, increase the quality of life of the affected families and reduce the workload of pediatric palliative care staff.
