Abstract
Palliative care of patients with non-oncological, chronic diseases is for the most part achieved by general practicioners (GP). Currently however standardized questionnaires are barely used by GPs to determine the demand. It is far more an intuitive, individual decision, at what time and to what extend apalliative treatment takes place at home. Based on an example of apatient with chronic heart failure, it's determined, if and with which assessment-tools the need for a(specialised) palliative care in general medicine can be detected.
