Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Telepalliation group

The intervention group will participate in the telepalliation program. The patients will lent a tablet during the RCT study to access the TelePal.dk platform an video consultations. The patients will participate from the time they are referred to palliative care, and are enrolled in the telepalliation program for up to six months or until:

1. They stop being followed by the Palliative Team due to lack of symptoms
2. They are diagnosed with delirium based upon clinical guidelines and the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM). The assessment of delirium will be done by either:

* The project nurse or the clinical responsible doctor at the patients' home OR
* A district nurse under video supervision by the project nurse or the clinical responsible doctor
3. Death of the patient
