The
National Consensus Project for Quality Palliative Care Clinical Practice Guidelines for Quality Palliative Care 3rd
edition 2013.
The mission of the National Consensus Project for
Quality Palliative Care is to create clinical practice guidelines that improve
the quality of palliative care in the United States. Specifically, the Clinical
Practice Guidelines for Quality Palliative Care promote quality
palliative care, foster consistent and high standards in palliative care, and
encourage continuity of care across settings. Since there
is shared responsibility for palliative care across health care settings, the
emphasis is on collaborative partnerships within and between hospitals,
community centers, hospices, and home health agencies to ensure quality,
continuity, and access to palliative care.
There are eight domains of care: Domain 1: Structure and Processes of Care, Domain 2:
Physical Aspects of Care, Domain 3: Psychological and Psychiatric Aspects,
Domain 4: Social Aspects of Care, Domain 5: Spiritual, Religious, and
Existential Aspects of Care, Domain 6: Cultural Aspects of Care, Domain 7: Care
of the Patient at the End of Life, and Domain 8: Ethical and Legal Aspects of
Care. These areas are delineated and the elements of best practice are
described. The Clinical Practice Guidelines serve as a manual or
blueprint to create new programs and guide developing programs.
