The Palliative Care Quality Improvement Community of
Practice was formed in 2019 to support organizations working on the QIP
Indicator – the earlier identification of individuals with palliative care
needs. It grew into a more comprehensive
focus of supporting organizations in the application of the Palliative Care
Quality Standard.
With recent changes in the health system environment - e.g.,
COVID-19 system recovery efforts, OHT development, and the Fixing LTC Act, new
programs are emerging to support organizations with their palliative care
efforts.
As such, the Palliative Care Quality Improvement Community
of Practice on Quorum will be closing on December 30, 2022. Communities of
Practice go through various stages of development and this community has
reached the sunsetting (or closing) stage.
This post provides a summary of key resources from the
Community of Practice to share more broadly as its legacy.
