Greeting Colleagues,
How many of you are implementing Palliative Care in your EDs? Earlier Palliative Care referrals lead to decreased length of stays, decreased ICU admissions, increased referrals to hospice, cost savings for hospital systems and increased patient, family and staff satisfaction. Ultimately it's about providing the RIGHT care for the RIGHT patient at the RIGHT time.
If you're interested in integrating palliative care principles in your ED, please reach out to me at rmalloy@compassionandchoices.org or 310.504.4593.
Have a great week!
