http://www.capc.org/tools-for-palliative-care-programs/clinical-tools/consult-triggers/pediatric-palliative-care-referral-criteria.pdf

Copy and paste the above link into your browser's address bar to view this document.

The criteria on this list have been suggested, or are in actual use, at leading palliative care centers for initiating a palliative care referral. Some hospitals use these criteria for internal marketing, while others have established them as defining criteria for automatic referral.


Thank you,

Thank you for this reference. Our team is at a very small (census of approx 50) pediatric transitional/subacute care hospital, so the tool that was posted really doesn't meet our needs. We are looking for a very short screening tool (i.e, 4--5 questions at most) that would prompt referral to our PPC team for further assessment to determine if the child/family would be appropriate for palliative care. If anyone is aware of such a tool and is willing to share it, I would greatly appreciate it.
