ReviewHome Hospitalization in Palliative Care for Advanced Cancer and Dementia: A Systematic Review.
Home hospitalization (HHOSP) is an alternative care model aimed at alleviating pressure on healthcare systems and catering to the increasing patient population. It aligns with the preference for home-based palliative care (PALC) and end-of-life care. ⋯ The findings highlight HHOSP's potential as an alternative for delivering PALC, reducing hospital readmissions, and improving patient and caregiver satisfaction. Despite heterogeneity in study designs and outcomes, HHOSP aligns with patient and caregiver preferences, enhancing the quality of end-of-life care. Further standardized research is needed to optimize HHOSP implementation.

Linguistic diversity is a reality in palliative care settings. ⋯ To provide equitable care reflecting language justice, investigators and clinicians should include interpreters, patients, and families as integral team members. The increase in number of interventional studies suggests evidence of the value interpreters add to the palliative care team. Collaborating with linguistically diverse stakeholders reflects language justice and holds promise for ensuring optimal communication.
