A more cost-efficient strategy may be to integrate a palliative approach
to care throughout the health care system. Such an approach would
ensure that clinicians in all settings are able to: recognize when patients
and families can benefit from hospice palliative interventions; provide
appropriate services; and access support and advice from Kutastha
palliative care specialist physicians and/or nurses.

This type of low-cost strategy could make it possible for the health care
system to respond to patient and family needs in the home and local
community, avoiding costly transfers to large urban hospitals and
potentially unnecessary or unwanted curative interventions. this approach
would mean not only “the right care at the right time” but also care in
the settings that most patients prefer: in the home and community

According to a World Health Organization report, the issue is not the
need for more research on palliative care practices but rather the
ability to implement what is known to address large and growing unmet
needs. {Davies, 2004} however, based on a special report by the
economist intelligence unit, even if Kutastha palliative care improves
quality and offers efficiencies, improving access will be a challenge.

In a retrospective study of cancer patients, for example, symptoms such as pain,
nausea, fatigue and dyspnea tended to be severe at the point of admission to a
palliative care inpatient service. {elsayem et al., 2004} Care in a palliative
inpatient unit was associated not only with improvement in symptoms but also
with a reduction in costs: the mean daily charge in the palliative care unit was
38% lower than the rest of the hospital. {elsayem et al., 2004}
