Evidence on the determinants of place of death; PCPDs; EoL care educational interventions for patients, informal caregivers, and health care providers; team-based models of care; effectiveness of CPR in an EoL care population; and supportive interventions for informal caregivers was reviewed. Economic modelling and cost-effectiveness analysis were also completed to determine the cost-effectiveness of those interventions having clinical effectiveness. Results of each review and the economic analysis were presented to OHTAC on March 28, 2014. Based on the evidence, OHTAC has made recommendations, which can be found on the Health Quality Ontario website at www.hqontario.ca.
