Community-Based Palliative Care Programs

Community-based palliative care programs are rapidly being implemented, often by hospital- or hospice-based palliative care organizations, to serve the needs of the non-admitted clients. But, these programs are very different from those in inpatient settings. So, the leader tasked with developing a program, is faced with an entirely new set of challenges. That’s where we can help.

Building a budget and business case, attracting payer and provider partners, and launching a community-based palliative care program is a daunting task. Our comprehensive, self-paced online courses provide you a detailed process and organized strategy to follow. This entire curriculum has been built by leading experts in designing, launching, and sustaining successful community-based palliative care programs.
