Introduction to Palliative Care in the Community
Defining community-based palliative care: which patients need it, how it is delivered, and how it differs from inpatient palliative care.
Community Palliative Care Program Design
What You’ll Learn
Community-based palliative care programs provide an added layer of support for patients with serious illness where they live and receive care—in clinics, long-term care settings, and in the home.
CAPC’s operational courses provide the training and tools needed to design a new community-based palliative care program. Topics include how to engage key stakeholders, assess patient needs in your community, design staffing and services, and develop a business plan for the program.
What You’ll Earn
CAPC members can earn a Verification of Attendance certificate after completing the courses in this series.
