Summary

This study looks at how many adults in hospital wards and long-term care facilities need palliative care on a specific day (November 11). Researchers will collect information from about 3,000 participants about their health, symptoms, and comfort. The goal is to get a clear picture of unmet needs so that care can be better planned in the future.
