      ​Thank you for the inquiry. The Palliative care value set is constrained to concepts including admission and referral. A referral is the transfer of care from one physician to another. Whereas a consult is typically a request by a provider for advice/opinion from another provider about a specific issue. Therefore, consult is not synonymous with referral. Please let us know if there is anything else. Thank you.

      If a Social worker places a consult for Palliative Care or Hospice at the direction of a Provider would the patient be excluded from the measure?
