CAPC Literature Review: The Health Care Experience of Hispanic Patients with Serious Illness
The Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC) has published a literature review on, "The Health Care Experience of Hispanic Patients with Serious Illness."
CAPC conducted this review of peer-reviewed journal articles indexed in PubMed to understand the health care experience of Hispanic patients with serious illness, and their families and unpaid caregivers. The literature review was part of CAPC’s Project Equity initiative: Improving Health Equity for People with Serious Illness.
14 key findings were identified, including areas where care for Hispanic patients often falls short, such as pain and symptom management and patient-provider communications. The findings will be used to develop pathways and tools to create meaningful change and reduce inequities experienced by traditionally marginalized communities.
