Record Status This is a bibliographic record of a published health technology assessment. No evaluation of the quality of this assessment has been made for the HTA database. Citation Medical Services Advisory Committee. Palliative care consultation items. Canberra: Medical Services Advisory Committee (MSAC). MSAC application 1159. 2014 Authors' conclusions After considering the strength of the available evidence in relation to the safety, clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of palliative care medicine consultation items MSAC considered that there was a lack of evidence to support the claim and that the nature of the application itself was outside MSAC's normal frame for consideration.
MSAC, however, noted that there may be some benefit in the introduction of new complex assessment and treatment items for palliative medicine specialists and referred the matter back to the Department.
