This study investigates the degree of standardization, outcome assessment practices, and EPR implementation in palliative care units (PCU), palliative care advisory teams (PCA) and specialised palliative home care (SPHC) in Germany.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Cross-sectional online survey among community and inpatient SPC services in Germany using setting-specific questionnaires with closed and open-ended questions.

Of the PCUs, 29.6% document exclusively digitally (PCA: 38.7%; SPHC: 57.9%), 15.5% exclusively paper-based (PCA: 6.5%; SPHC: 0.9%) and 52.1% both digital and paper-based (PCA: 48.4%; SPHC: 24.3%) (missing: PCU: 2.8%; PCA: 6.5%; SPHC: 16.8%). In PCU and PCA various EPR systems are used (PCU at least 10, PCA at least 7); in SPHC, two systems are employed by 96% of the teams. More than one EPR is used in 13.0% (PCU) and 27.0% (PCA). The majority of teams employ at least one standardised assessment to record functional status (PCU: 95.7%, PCA: 90.3%, SPHC: 66.4%) and symptom burden (PCU: 85.9%, PCA: 87.1%, SPHC: 64.5%). Assessments during care processes were limited: 25.4% of PCUs, 16.1% of PCAs, and 30.8% of SPHC teams documented symptom burden, and 8.5% of PCUs; 0% of PCA; and 17.8% of SPHC documented functional status daily or during visits.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The use of routine health care data in SPC is limited by fragmented documentation practices, lack of standardization, poor interoperability, and the insufficient relevance of many health information systems for capturing patient-centred outcomes.
