Main Methods:

  • Discussion of various palliative care service models (consult, outpatient, inpatient).
  • Identification of essential components for successful palliative care programs.
  • Introduction of screening tools and team composition for palliative care.
  • Presentation of a model medical record to prompt best practices.
  • Guidance on data reporting for program evaluation.

Main Results:

  • Palliative care demonstrably improves quality of life and symptom control.
  • It reduces the utilization of aggressive, often futile, end-of-life interventions.
  • Implementation of palliative care leads to overall healthcare cost savings.

Conclusions:
