Request for proposals Review of service delivery models for older people that maximize quality of life

Health systems aim to reduce mortality and prolong life, which may not be appropriate for end-of-life care. During the last years of life, health needs are often interlinked with social needs. Thus, maintaining functional ability and improved quality of life become the most important goals.
WHO Kobe Centre invites proposals for a rapid review of service delivery models that are fit for older people at the end-of-life. This research will document and evaluate delivery models for quality of life and costs, and provide an analysis of knowledge gaps.
 
Submission deadline: 31 August 2017, 23:00 Japan time
