Patients with neurological illnesses have many palliative care needs that need to be addressed in the outpatient clinical setting. This review discusses existing models of care delivery, including services delivered by neurology teams, palliative care specialists, telehealth, and home-based programs. We review the existing literature that supports these services and ongoing limitations that continue to create barriers to necessary clinical care for this vulnerable patient population.
