• Resumen

  • The aging population of the 21st century suffers from chronic diseases, terminal illnesses and multimorbidity. Palliative care has traditionally been the answer to these conditions and it has evolved into what we call integrated palliative care. The goal of this study is to describe the Osona palliative care system and identify the elements it includes and those that it lacks as an integrated system in relation to the essential elements described in the bibliography. This research has followed a qualitative methodology with a case study technique. In conclusion the main elements described in the literature on an integrated palliative care system (IPCS) were found in the results of this study, confirming that they are essential. It was also found that the Osona system includes most of the integrative elements for an IPCS as indicated in the revised documentation. However, some of the elements need changes and improvements for better patient care.
