NCP Clinical Practice Guidelines for Quality Palliative Care, 4th Edition in Process
The National Consensus Project (NCP) is working on the "Clinical Practice Guidelines for Quality Palliative Care, 4th Edition." This updated edition will be released in the Fall of 2018.
The new guidelines will build on the same eight domains of the National Consensus Project (NCP) Clinical Practice Guidelines for Quality Palliative Care, 3rd Edition (2013). NCP is an initiative of the National Coalition of Hospice and Palliative Care (The Coalition) to further define and underscore the value of palliative care, and to improve upon the delivery of palliative care in the United States.
In January 2017, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation awarded a two-year grant to support a stakeholder summit and the development, endorsement, dissemination and implementation of the 4th Edition. The John A. Hartford Foundation is providing additional support through its "Building a Collective Strategy to Accelerate Progress in End-of-Life Care" grant.
