The Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC), Improving Access to Quality Palliative Care

In order to improve the quality of care for seriously ill older adults, the Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC) has received a grant to support four interrelated activities. CAPC will increase access to and improve the quality of community-based palliative care, improve frontline clinician skills through a national campaign and competition known as The John A. Hartford Foundation Tipping Point Challenge, partner with the American Hospital Association to drive uptake of palliative care in health systems, and address palliative care financing and operational issues faced by Accountable Care Organizations and Medicare Advantage Plans through learning collaboratives.
