NASHP Resource: Seven Steps for Building a Community-Based Palliative Care Benefit Within Medicaid
The National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) has released a resource, "Strengthening Care for People with Serious Illness: Seven Steps for Building a Community-Based Palliative Care Benefit within Medicaid."
The document outlines seven steps to help states support palliative care within Medicaid programs by engaging providers and stakeholders to inform benefit design. States can support palliative care in a number of ways and across a range of settings (e.g., in hospitals, embedded within enhanced primary care, via home health).
Throughout each of the seven steps, NASHP recommends how states can play a leadership role by engaging providers and stakeholders to inform benefit design.
