Abstract

This pilot study examines the implementation and impact of urgency response protocols in palliative care settings. The study involved patients receiving palliative care across multiple healthcare facilities, with a focus on the expedited care delivery in acute situations. The protocols included standardized communication strategies, immediate assessment processes, and streamlined intervention pathways. Preliminary results show a significant reduction in response times and improved symptom management, along with enhanced satisfaction among healthcare providers. Challenges, such as adherence and integration of electronic health records, were noted and warrant further exploration. The study highlights the potential benefits of structured urgency response protocols in optimizing patient outcomes and overall care quality.
