This study showed that patients receiving early palliative care had less treatment and shorter length of stay; however there was minimal cost differences between the early and late palliative care consultations groups. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Composed by Elaine Boland.<!--TrendMD v2.4.8--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cost analysis of a prospective multi-site cohort study of palliative care consultation teams for adults with advanced cancer: Where do cost-savings come from?
