The field of palliative care (PC) has spent the past decade demonstrating that it improves outcomes for patients, clinicians, and health systems. Forward-thinking organizations preparing for a reimbursement system rooted in value have built robust inpatient PC programs and are rapidly moving toward the outpatient and community settings as well. As PC programs get larger and are increasingly tasked with leading a wide variety of diverse initiatives, population health principles can help to focus programs on high-value activities. This article, written by population health researchers and PC clinicians, seeks to provide PC teams nationally with a variety of population health strategies and tools to guide PC delivery throughout the health system and beyond.
在过去的十年中，姑息治疗（PC）领域已经证明，它可以改善患者、临床医生和医疗系统的治疗效果。具有前瞻性思维的组织正在为建立基于价值的报销制度做准备，他们已经建立了强大的住院姑息治疗项目，并正在迅速向门诊和社区环境发展。随着姑息治疗项目的扩大，并且越来越多地承担着各种各样的多样化计划，人口健康原则可以帮助项目团队将重点放在高价值的活动上。本文由人口健康研究人员和姑息治疗临床医生撰写，旨在为全国的姑息治疗团队提供各种人口健康策略和工具，以指导整个医疗系统及其他系统的姑息治疗服务。
