Using normalization process theory to evaluate the use of patient-centred outcome measures in specialist palliative home care-a qualitative interview study

BMC Palliat Care. 2024 Jan 3;23(1):1. doi: 10.1186/s12904-023-01329-8.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Standardised use of patient-centred outcome measures (PCOMs) improves aspects of quality of care.
