Palliative care providers, health systems and payers all need access to quantitative and benchmarked quality data. There were three quality measuring registries, but in 2019 the Palliative Care Quality Collaboration (PCQC) was introduced to create one central registry to streamline access to the needed information.
“Merging the best aspects of each palliative care registry, PCQC will be able to collect program-level data on structure and process, and patient-level data to drive quality improvement and reporting,” said Maggie Rogers, director of research at the Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC), one of PCQC’s founding organizations. “Improving the quality of care and quality of life for patients and families will always be the ultimate goal of palliative care as a field and of PCQC as an organization.” The PCQC is expected to be available this summer.
The PCQC will measure its success by the number of clinicians, practices, and organizations that become a part of the collaboration, its goal is to have all the fields contributing data, sharing experiences, participating in education, or contributing in some way.
