OBJECTIVE: To describe an evidence-informed, experience-based co-design process used to adapt metropolitan early palliative care referral models for implementation in a regional Australian health service.
METHODS: A scoping review of palliative care delivery and early referral models to inform evidence-informed, experience-based co-design workshops involving consumers, clinicians, and health service staff.
DESIGN: Sequential mixed-methods development study comprising evidence synthesis to identify model components, followed by two iterative workshops to construct and refine a context-appropriate outpatient early referral model.
SETTING: A regional public health service in Victoria, Australia, seeking to establish an outpatient early referral palliative care clinic for people with advanced cancer.
PARTICIPANTS: Purposefully sampled stakeholders (patients/carers, oncologists, palliative care clinicians, cancer care coordinators, Aboriginal health worker, managers, and researchers) took part in two online workshops.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Co-designed model structure and components, perceived feasibility in a resource-constrained regional context, and agreed service scope and patient eligibility.
RESULTS: The process generated a regionally tailored early referral pathway incorporating needs-based screening, prioritisation to manage limited capacity, and staged roll-out initially focused on selected cancer groups. These adaptations, while pragmatic, highlight the resourcing disparities faced by rural and regional services and the equity implications of resource-driven variation in care delivery.
CONCLUSIONS: Evidence-informed co-design enabled pragmatic adaptation of metropolitan palliative care models to a regional setting and offers a transferable approach for other rural and regional services.
