Strategies for Stability in Uncertain Times
U.S. health care faces ongoing financial and operational uncertainty. At the same time, these challenges have underscored the critical role of palliative care in supporting patients, families, clinician colleagues, and health care organizations.
Strategic palliative care programs will seize the moment to proactively engage collaborators, reinforce program value, and strengthen core program fundamentals. This toolkit provides a three-step process for stabilizing and strengthening your program.
What’s in the Toolkit
1. Understand the Environment
Your leaders are making decisions in a different context than they were five years ago. Where are they focusing their efforts, and how can palliative care collaborate to solve problems?
CAPC’s second annual Palliative Pulse survey offers insight on how palliative care professionals across the country are feeling this year and what they’re focused on—see how they responded.
In this on-demand briefing, CAPC unveils its 2024 Serious Illness Scorecard and presents each state’s readiness and capacity to meet the needs of patients living with a serious illness, and their families and caregivers.
In this on-demand webinar, Dr. Diane Meier reveals the findings of CAPC’s member survey and discusses what palliative care can do to increase and project value while mitigating risk.
In this webinar, presenters will use a pediatric palliative care program as a case example, leading participants through the critical steps of an effective change management initiative.
2. Engage Collaborators
Select key partners for conversations, and develop a strategy to put your best foot forward.
Who to talk with, what to ask, and how to prepare for meetings with potential palliative care program collaborators.
3. Practice Sustainability Through Strong Fundamentals
You can't control the health care economy, but you can control the efficiency and effectiveness of your palliative care program.
