Description:
“The National Consensus Project for Quality Palliative Care (NCP) represents a groundbreaking initiative to further define and underscore the value of palliative care and to improve upon the delivery of palliative care in the United States. Palliative care is both a philosophy of care and an organized, highly structured system for the delivery of care. A major objective of the NCP is to heighten awareness of palliative care as an option in treating those with a life-limiting or chronic debilitating illness, condition or injury, and to raise public understanding of the growing need for such care.”
