Does anyone have any cost analysis on the impact of palliative care in nursing homes? I am considering pitching PC to nursing home administrators and need data to substantiate the need for it. Many of the links to articles on this topic on the CAPC website are invalid so I haven't been able to access them. I do know that the benefit to the NH is through keeping the patients in the beds vs. going inpt but I don't have data to back that.
