Making the Value Case for Palliative Care

The evidence is clear: palliative care improves quality of life for patients—and quality outcomes for health care organizations—resulting in consistent reductions in the costs of care.

Designed to help make the case with organization leaders, health plans, colleagues, and community partners, the materials in this toolkit, created by Center to Advance Palliative Care, can be used to make the case for palliative care investment in your setting.
