Palliative Care Quality Network (PCQN)

The Palliative Care Quality Network (PCQN) is a collaborative effort among healthcare providers to improve the quality of palliative care, which focuses on relieving pain and symptoms for seriously ill patients. Through shared data, strategies, and best practices, PCQN helps hospitals and clinics enhance patient comfort, ensure coordinated care, and measure improvements over time. The goal is to provide compassionate, patient-centered support that better addresses physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, ultimately leading to improved quality of life for patients facing serious illnesses.
