Abstract

The Palliative Care Outcomes Collaboration (PCOC) assists services to improve the quality of the palliative care they provide through the analysis and benchmarking of patient outcomes. In this, the seventeenth PCOC report, data submitted for the January to June 2014 period are summarised and patient outcomes benchmarked to enable participating services to assess their performance and identify areas in which they may improve.
