PURPOSE: To determine whether the type of delivery system is associated with intensity of care at the end of life for Medicare beneficiaries with cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We used SEER registry data linked with Medicare claims to evaluate intensity of end-of-life care for patients who died of one of ten common cancers diagnosed from 2009 through 2014. Patients were categorized as receiving the majority of their care in an integrated delivery system, designated cancer center, health system that was both integrated and a certified cancer center, or health system that was neither. We evaluated adherence to seven nationally endorsed end-of-life quality measures using generalized linear models across four delivery system types. RESULTS: Among 100,549 beneficiaries who died of cancer during the study interval, we identified only modest differences in intensity of end-of-life care across delivery system structures. Health systems with no cancer center or integrated affiliation demonstrated higher proportions of patients with multiple hospitalizations in the last 30 days of life (11.3%), death in an acute care setting (25.9%), and lack of hospice use in the last year of life (31.6%; all P < .001). Patients enrolled in hospice had lower intensity care across multiple end-of-life quality measures. CONCLUSION: Intensity of care at the end of life for patients with cancer was higher at delivery systems with no integration or cancer focus. Maximal supportive care delivered through hospice may be one avenue to reduce high-intensity care at the end of life and may impact quality of care for patients dying from cancer.

Since its launch in 2016, the Family Planning Village (Kampung KB) has experienced interesting dynamics in the field. The number of KB Kampung is increasing every year. One of the goals of the KB Village is to improve the family quality of life. Quality of life consist of the physical, emotional, social, intellectual, spiritual, and environmental dimensions. This literature review research explores two questions: (1) how is the implementation of KB Kampung in the field; (2) What are the implications of Kampung KB for the quality of family life. By using Crossref and Google Scholar, 97 writings on the theme of Kampung KB were obtained. After the exclusion, there were 33 papers that were relevant to the purpose of this study, only 23 papers were obtained which were used as exploration material. The results of the analysis show several things. First, Kampung KB has been implemented with various obstacles and opportunities. Some that are often encountered are: lack of understanding of the managers, lack of budget support, and low continuity of activities. Second, although the community has felt the benefits, the programs and activities have not had too many implications for the family quality of life.
