  • Beschreibung: <jats:sec id="st1"> <jats:title>Objectives:</jats:title> <jats:p>The key component of a comprehensive palliative care (PC) unit is provision of a regular and sustainable home-based PC (HBPC) service. This quality improvement project aimed to plan, organise and sustain a regular HBPC service in a government cancer centre in Southeast India. The aim was to regularise and increase the number of home care visits among the patients identified for HBPC services through sustainable interventions.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec id="st2"> <jats:title>Materials and Methods:</jats:title> <jats:p>The A3 methodology with its team-based, structured problem-solving approach was the tool used. The situational process map at baseline was followed up with a sequential cause and effect analysis and team discussions to create sustainable and reliable interventions. These included creating the electronic data system for data collection in PC, allocation of resources and implementation of systems to coordinate HBPC services. The roles and ownership to maintain improvement were established by designation and this requirement has been included in the job description to ensure reliability and sustainability.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec id="st3"> <jats:title>Results:</jats:title> <jats:p>The regularisation of home care services with a consistent increase in the number of home visits from 2/week to over 6/week helped achieve the Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time bound goal. Better documentation, coordination and accountability were also positive outcomes. Working with different departments and teams along the project helped build trust and understanding along with a sound base for collaborative research.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec id="st4"> <jats:title>Conclusion:</jats:title> <jats:p>The A3 way of problem solving through dialogue and consensus helped to organise HBPC services and this methodology can be extended to other areas in future.</jats:p> </jats:sec>
