Office and Clinic Palliative Care Program Design toolkit ?? https://ow.ly/IUi650Vq1U7 Patients who are neither hospitalized nor on hospice care need access to palliative care in a community clinic or office setting, such as a cancer center or dialysis unit. Such services may be delivered by physician groups or hospice- or home-health-based palliative care teams, or as extensions of an inpatient palliative care team and program. Some office/clinic palliative care programs are embedded within another specialty clinic (for example, an oncology clinic), while others may share space within an existing clinic but operate independently; still others are geographically freestanding. Each model has operational and financial tradeoffs—learn more in the “Designing the Service” section of this toolkit.

Effective palliative care leaders balance the needs of their patients and families, teams, organizations, and external partners. Join Donna W. Stevens, MHA, Tom Gualtieri-Reed, MBA, and faculty at the CAPC National Seminar in September for our pre-conference workshop, Leading with Confidence: Strategies for Navigating Team and Organizational Dynamics and Politics. This interactive workshop will use realistic scenarios and practical frameworks to strengthen key leadership skills. Space for this workshop is limited.
