NASHP Resource Hub: State Strategies to Implement Palliative Care
The National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) has published new resources on it's toolkit resource hub, "State Strategies to Implement Palliative Care," and has added a new module to the toolkit in August, "Building Infrastructure and Promoting Quality."
As states weigh how to maintain and provide health care services in the face of lower revenue and increased demand due to COVID-19, palliative care may be an important – and underutilized – resource for the seriously ill. State health policy leaders see enormous value in palliative care to promote good outcomes and avoid unnecessary and often unwanted and costly treatments. Research by the NASHP has found striking examples of palliative care implementation, but also significant untapped opportunities for states to improve palliative care access and quality.
This continuously expanding Resource Hub includes reports, maps, factsheets, webinar recordings and an infographic, and provides concrete resources for states working to implement and expand high-quality palliative care.
