The National Consensus Project for Quality Palliative Care

The National Consensus Project for Quality Palliative Care is an organization that provides guidelines to ensure high-quality, compassionate care for individuals with serious illnesses. Their goal is to improve quality of life by addressing physical, emotional, spiritual, and social needs through coordinated, patient-centered care. The guidelines help healthcare providers communicate effectively, manage symptoms, and support patients and families in making informed decisions, regardless of the setting. This approach promotes dignity, comfort, and respect for patients facing complex health challenges, ensuring their healthcare aligns with their values and preferences.
