description The purpose of the study is to examine the perspectives of palliative care (PC) providers about the needs, barriers, and disparities to integrate PC into the community setting. This study used a descriptive qualitative design to complete a phone interview that incorporated the United States Department of Health and Human Services' (USDHHS) social determinants of health (SDOH) framework domains, as well as a demographic survey. Thirteen PC providers and administrators were interviewed to ascertained their perceptions about community-based palliative care (CBPC) related to the SDOH. Subthemes were ascertained using the USDHHs' SDOH as themes: lack of patient access to resources, challenges of institutional philosophic buy-in, gaps in medical education, lack of health care literacy among patients, distrust in health care, differing perspectives on quality of life, social and community support, environmental injustice, lack of interdisciplinary collaboration, multidisciplinary continuing education, and CBPC program evaluation. The results from this study provide evidence to help identify potential barriers to planning necessary CBPC interventions based on potential SDOH disparities.
