The United States is currently facing a crisis in health care marked by unsustainable spending and quality that is poor relative to international benchmarks. Yet this is also a critical time of opportunity. Because of its focus on quality of care, the Affordable Care Act is poised to expand access to palliative care services for the sickest, most vulnerable, and therefore most costly, 5% of patients- a small group who nonetheless drive about 50% of all healthcare spending. Palliative care is specialized medical care for people with serious illnesses. It focuses on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress of a serious illness—whatever the diagnosis or stage of illness. The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family. | 出版日期 | Book 2014 | 关键词 | Care Competencies; Hospice; Long Term Care; Outcomes; Palliative Care; Quality Measures | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4939-0407-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4939-0406-8 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4939-0407-5 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 2014 |
