The Future of Palliative Care? Community-Based Models
In a recent episode of the GeriPal podcast, Alan Chiu, Mindy Stewart-Coffee, and Ben Thompson discuss the rapid growth of community-based palliative care and how value-based care models are expanding access, improving outcomes, and addressing workforce challenges. They compare value-based and fee-for-service approaches and examine the role of for-profit organizations and private equity, emphasizing the importance of clinician-led, patient-centered care as the field shapes the future of community-based palliative care.
