The issue we have is that our palliative service is not just a pain service. It is comprehensive, and not just end of life or hospice. It is difficult to believe that the reviewers cannot recognize the difference between "comfort care only" patients, and those who need excellent symptom management, coordination of care, and all the other things our teams are doing. I am not sure an order would solve this question completely, but it bears some looking in to.
