| LIVE from Baylor Scott & White Health: Palliative and Supportive Care A model for lower costs, better quality, and reduced readmissions To many people, the phrase "palliative care" is synonymous with end-of-life pain treatment.
But as the leaders of Baylor Scott & White Health have discovered, taking a more expansive and inclusive approach to supportive care, pain management, and end-of-life care planning can deliver major benefits for all parties—reducing readmissions and ED visits, improving quality of life for patients, better supporting family members, and lowering costs.
The Baylor team has succeeded by expanding their palliative care resources, engaging patients and families earlier with a supportive care model, and offering early intervention for patient-centered end-of-life care planning. The results have been impressive: a 17% reduction in readmissions, 85% better pain management, and more satisfying end-of-life planning.
