New Policy Agenda Pushes for Hospice, Palliative Care Reform
In a Hospice News article, CAPC's Allison Silvers discusses the National Coalition for Hospice and Palliative Care's newly released Public Policy Agenda, a consensus-based framework developed in collaboration with CAPC and other organizations to improve equitable access and quality in serious illness care. Silvers, who co-chairs the committee, highlights two key priorities: expanding palliative care skills across the broader health care system to address the workforce shortage, and strengthening oversight of the Medicare Hospice Benefit to combat fraud, waste, and abuse.
