Learning Objectives:
1. Describe the types of palliative care programs being operated today
2. Identify the main sources of funding for palliative care programs
3. Identify key issues and opportunities for providing palliative care in conjunction with a hospice program
The past several years have seen a significant increase in interest about, demand for and development of palliative care programs. Yet, palliative care remains somewhat of an enigma because it does not have clear-cut guidelines in terms of setting, reimbursement, regulations/ CoPs, stage in the disease process, or delivery models. If your hospice is currently operating or considering a palliative care program, this session will help you understand the complexities and opportunities. Benefit from the experience of other providers as they have experimented in this relatively uncharted territory.
