Palliative care access remains a challenge across the country, despite its alignment with many states’ goals to improve patients’ health care experience and care quality, and reduce costs. Palliative care is interdisciplinary, patient-centered care for individuals with serious illness, provided in a hospital, in the community, or in the home, that can be delivered alongside curative treatment at any time following an individual’s diagnosis. States, as regulators, payers, and innovators of health care, are uniquely positioned to improve the lives of Americans with serious illnesses by promoting access to palliative care.

In September 2018, NASHP conducted a comprehensive scan of how states are supporting the delivery of palliative care to adults. This webinar highlights major trends observed from all 50 states and Washington, DC, promising policy approaches, and key considerations for states identified through the scan.

Additionally, the webinar features Texas’ work to advance palliative care through stakeholder engagement and Medicaid quality improvement initiatives. This webinar is supported through The John A. Hartford Foundation.
