Palliative Care Quality Measures

Palliative Care Quality Measures are guidelines used to assess how well healthcare providers are delivering palliative care, which focuses on improving the quality of life for patients with serious illnesses. These measures examine aspects such as effective communication, symptom management, and support for patients and their families. By evaluating these factors, healthcare organizations can identify areas for improvement, ensuring that patients receive compassionate, patient-centered care that addresses their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Ultimately, these measures aim to enhance the overall experience and comfort for individuals facing serious health challenges.
