In home-based primary care (HBPC), it's essential to prioritize across settings of care what matters to the patient at all stages of life. Patients who receive care in their homes at the end-of-life report higher satisfaction with the medical services provided to them than those in other settings. HBPC providers caring for patients with serious, advanced illness must be competent and compassionate in applying palliative care principles when developing a treatment plan.
