    • Intepretation of Comfort Measures - Order for Palliative Care Consult.
    • Hide
      Thank you for your question. The Comfort Measures value set intends to represent patients who are terminally ill, dying, or in hospice care. We allow for either an order for comfort measures, or an intervention performed to provide greater flexibility in implementation. If your organization has a palliative care team that is consulted in the above situations, that seems reasonable for mapping.

      Our internal report for the Stroke eCQMs currently includes an order for a consult to Palliative care as meeting the Comfort Measures criteria. This means the Palliative Care department comes and assesses the patient. Does that represent the intent of the data element? thanks.

      Does an Order for Palliative Care Consult - meaning a representative from the Palliative care department assesses patient count as Comfort Measures?
