Post Palliative Care Clinic metrics
Author: Mary_Hubert
Date: Mar 7, 2011 9:17 am
At our academic institution, where we have an established inpatient palliative care consultation service, we are working on opening a supportive care clinic within our cancer center. We are looking at metrics, and I have been reviewing the concensus recommendations established for inpatient consultation services and inpatient units, but I wonder if any have been established for outpatient clinics?

Hi,

There are currently no outpatient clinic metrics... nor much of a consensus about outpatient palliative care generally. The field is moving fast.

We published a description of prominent academic outpatient palliative care practices that can serve as a starting point.

It's here: http://archinte.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/extract/170/7/654

best,
