Emerging Programs
Over the past 10 years a small number of Emergency Departments have emerged as innovators, working to integrate palliative care services into routine care. IPAL-EM has compiled a list of these teams, each using a unique clinical care model, along with contact information to link clinicians wishing to learn from peers about best practices for improving palliative care in the practice of Emergency Medicine.
