The PALMA project is part of a larger palliative research program COPAL in Capital Region of Denmark led by Professor Tom Møller. PALMA aims to improve palliative care for geriatric patients transitioning from emergency-hospital to primary care. The project addresses the lack of a systematic approach for assessing and managing palliative symptoms in geriatric patients to enhance communication between hospitals and municipal health care services. The PALMA cohort investigates the applicability of systematic palliative assessment (EORTC-C15 PAL) in the geriatric emergency setting combined with measures of frailty, socio-demographic risks, and cross-sectoral healthcare support.
