I have done quite a bit of work showing the value of Palliative Care intervention in total. Quarterly I run a report from Meditech which pulls up all charges for me from before my intervention and after my intervention, and I can demonstrate remarkable cost savings for the quarter (or year). It has impressed everyone who has seen the results. This took months to perfect and is very time consuming but seems to work. I would be happy to discuss specifics if anyone is interested.

Thank you Nancy. I also compare the cost of care and see a significant decrease once palliative care intervenes. Do you look at anything else?
