It is expected that demographic trends will lead to an increase in the proportion of people requiring palliative care. Estimates indicate that 80–90% of all people will require some form of palliative care at the end of their lives. In order to further develop the existing forms of outpatient palliative care, an intermediate form of palliative medical care (IPC) was introduced in 2017 in accordance with Section 87 (1b) of the German Social Code (SGB) Part V. It is intended to serve as an intermediate stage between general and specialized outpatient palliative care (GPC/SPC) (3). In this article, routine data from a statutory health insurance (SHI) carrier will be used to analyze how many and which patients received IPC in their last year of life before passing away.
