Post community palliative care program

I would like to start a community palliative care program through our nonprofit hospice, to serve (at least initially) primarily homebound elders and disabled members in the community, and hopefully to eventually to expand to nursing homes. Has anyone developed this kind of program? I would love to hear about your experiences, funding, staffing, and outcomes.

On the CAPC website in the Tools section there are a couple of documents that I think you may find helpful as you consider starting a PC outpatient program. One of them:
PALLIATIVE CARE CHECKLIST: SELECTED REGULATORY
AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS1
Mary H. Michal, J.D.
Meg S.L. Pekarske, J.D.
Reinhart Boerner Van Deuren s.c
This nicely outlines what you will want to be thinking about as you look at developing a program.
