    • Thank you for your inquiry. Palliative care is not considered end of life care but more support and symptom management and therefore excluded from the value set.

      Is Palliative Care consult considered to be included in Comfort Measures for eCQM measures?   I see Hospice but want to ensure that Palliative care is/is not suppose to be included?

      Referring to Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting program eCQMs - example - VTE-1, STK-06, etc.
