Getting Institutional Buy-In with CHI Health Palliative Care

In the first episode of the Program Spotlight podcast series, we speak with members of the palliative care team from CHI Health Palliative Care in Omaha, Nebraska. At the time of this recording, CHI provided inpatient consults across 5 hospitals, with a projected 1,300 consults this year — over 3,700 patient encounters. The program is supported within the clinic structure and works closely with the hospital medicine program. With two physicians, one nurse practitioner, 3.5 RNs, and administration support, pastoral care, and social services, the palliative care team is able to provide care across multiple campuses.
