NASHP Brief: How States Can Embed Palliative Care in Health Care Reform Initiatives
The National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) has released a brief, "How States Can Embed Palliative Care in Health Care Reform Initiatives."
NASHP's brief lays out opportunities for state policymakers. States are increasingly focusing their health reform efforts on providing comprehensive, well-coordinated care to people with serious illness as a strategy to improve quality and drive down costs. The brief details how palliative care can be an important part of these efforts, including how states are using existing models and Medicaid authorities to advance access to palliative care. It provides examples of successful state legislation that have created regulatory environments enabling access to palliative care.
