Abstract
Introduction. Due to the high rate of chronic non-transmissible illnesses and the serious suffering they cause, it is important to study palliative care in public health systems. Objective. Analyze the strategies for the evaluation of the development of palliative care. Material and methods. A systematic review was made of the literature using two search engines: pubMed and Embase, and articles were selected that evaluate development in palliative care in at least two countries. The quality of the studies was evaluated according to the information source used to build the assessment strategies. The results are presented in a narrative synthesis. Results. Fifteen palliative care strategies that share a common structure were identified, and a classification was established according to their methodology in four groups: registration, nominal classification, numerical classification and mixed strategies. Conclusions. The classification of palliative care assessment strategies facilitates the choice of the most appropriate model for the needs of each context, as well as identification of the means necessary to ensure their universal implementation in health systems.
