How does CAPC enable advocates to institutionalize palliative care?
CAPC provides resources that cover all aspects of operationalizing a palliative care program, including: • Making the case for palliative care in terms of improved quality care for patients, increased staff satisfation and demonstrating the financial rationale; • Defining the optimal delivery model for an institution including staff structure and skills set; • Expanding services through hospice partnerships; • Financing the program and estimating patient volume and revenues; and • Marketing the program to each important audience including hospital administrators, referring physicians, and patients and families. Over 95% of those completing CAPC conferences state the training made them confident enough to successfully build a palliative care program. CAPC’s resources have repeatedly proven successful in helping palliative care advocates win support for palliative care, recruit interdisciplinary teams, and develop formal programs within their institutions.
