C-TAC Report: From Metrics to Momentum - Accelerating the Spread of Community-Based Palliative Care
The Coalition to Transform Advanced Care (C-TAC) and and The John A. Hartford Foundation (JAHF) have released a report, "From Metrics to Momentum: Accelerating the Spread of Community-Based Palliative Care."
The report summarizes discussion from a September 2025 C-TAC national convening of clinical, policy, payer and delivery system leaders that was focused on accelerating the spread of community-based palliative care and identifying meaningful approaches to measuring access.
The report itself found that while palliative care capacity has expanded significantly within inpatient settings over the past decade, the field lacks comparable infrastructure, data and reimbursement pathways to support consistent access in community-based environments.
To address identified gaps, C-TAC and JAHF outlined a three-part strategy focused on establishing standardized approaches to measuring palliative care access across community settings.
