Developing robust systems for Track 2 MAID in Canada: A qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Developing robust care systems to support the evolving landscape of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) in Canada has proven difficult. The complexity of applicants applying under Track 2, in which a reasonably foreseeable natural death is not required for eligibility, has challenged the capacities of systems that were initially developed to care for Track 1 applicants.

Objective

To identify structures and practices described by healthcare providers involved in Track 2 care as key to developing a robust system of high quality and safe care for persons applying under Track 2 MAID in Canada.

Design

A qualitative study informed by the principles of Interpretive Description, a pragmatic research approach developed for health disciplines.
