National strategy for integrating palliative care into standard cardiac care for people living with heart failure: a position statement from the joint working group of the Swiss Societies of Cardiology and Palliative Care
Improvement of QoL of people with HF and their relatives could be greater if PC would be integrated in usual care timely. Frequent needs assessment, using validated tools helps to recognize people having unaddressed needs, and helps to replace the outdated, based on risk of dying, involvement of PC. Dialogue between both disciplines is crucial to provide care prolonging life of best quality during the whole journey living with disease.
