Current State and Next Steps for Specialty Palliative CareWui-Leong Koh, MD; Daniel Johnson, MD, FAAHPM https://doi.org/10.7812/TPP/17-140-25Introduction: Despite growing evidence that demonstrates the many benefits of Specialty Palliative Care (SPC), access to high-quality, specialty-level support across inpatient and outpatient settings remains highly variable. Most Regions lack a standardized approach to the identification and assessment of seriously ill members with the highest risk of having unmet physical, emotional, practical, and/or spiritual needs. Even in Regions with more consistent access to SPC services, referrals to specialty support are variable and often late during the course of illness. |
