Integrating Palliative Care into Practice

Providers are responsible for running hectic office practices or specialty offices, seeing large volumes of patients with little time, and serving thousands of patients each year. Developing primary palliative care services can often enhance some care and services already being delivered.

This course explores how to efficiently and effectively integrate palliative care services into everyday practice, including how to bill for palliative care.

• Articulate your business case for palliative care, patients to be served, and key interventions to offer
• Identify key members of the practice team to include in service delivery
• Outline and implement steps for billing, measuring care, and quality improvement
