The Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC) has introduced a publicly accessible database that will track state policies on palliative care and related services.
The Palliative Care Policy GPS (GPS) database tracks the movement of relevant legislation and regulation across the 50 states, as well as U.S. territories, the Indian Health Service (IHS) and the Veterans Administration (VA).
