Samueli Institute Igniting Innovation in Hospice and Palliative Care

ALEXANDRIA, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Samueli
Institute
, in partnership with the National
Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO),
is launching a
breakthrough collaborative, “Optimal
Healing Environments in Hospice and Palliative Care”
to define new
methods of reducing pain and suffering for those living with advanced
illnesses or at the end of life. Led by an expert
faculty
, participating hospice and palliative care organizations
will collectively focus on new ideas to reduce pain and associated
emotional issues, relieve caregiver fatigue, decrease ER admissions and
improve outcomes — all through a comprehensive, holistic approach.

“Making small changes can be challenging; achieving breakthroughs even
more so, but there are factors that can lead to success,” explained
Samueli Institute President & CEO Wayne B. Jonas, MD. “Our breakthrough
collaborative offers technical expertise, intensive coaching, and peer
engagement to improve outcomes and prepare for the future of the
industry.”

The need for a focus on holistic, comprehensive hospice and palliative
care in the home environment has never been greater. With a 74 percent
increase in the number of patients served by hospice and palliative care
in the last 10 years, and as 42 percent of the U.S. adult population are
baby boomers approaching retirement, the need for palliative care and
hospice supportive services is escalating.

Samueli Institute is seeking up to 50 hospice and palliative care
organizations to participate
in the groundbreaking collaborative.
Interested organizations can find more information at www.SamueliInstitute.org/collaboratives.
