Abstract

Palliative Care and hospice services have become an increasingly crucial part of the healthcare system. Unfortunately, there are several research gaps, which have caused the development of performance measures to lag. The report endorses a framework for palliative and hospice care that is intended to be the first step in developing a comprehensive quality measurement and reporting system for palliative care and hospice services. The report also endorses a set of preferred practices designed to improve palliative and hospice care.
