Making the Case for Palliative Care: Demonstrating Value through Measurement

Ask questions about how to use metrics to demonstrate the impact of palliative care on quality and costs across all care settings. Discuss the value it brings to patients and families, referring clinicians, your organization, and financial stakeholders, such as partnering health plans.

Questions for this session may include:

• What is the best way to demonstrate the value of palliative care services to leadership within my organization?
• What data/evidence do financial stakeholders need to see in order to support a palliative care program?
• What metrics have other programs successfully used to validate improved outcomes?[SS1]
