ACHC’s Palliative Care program is applicable to healthcare organizations that focus on patient- and family-centered care that optimizes quality of life throughout the continuum of illness by addressing physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual needs as well as facilitating patient autonomy, access to information, and choice. Our Palliative Care standards are based on the National Consensus Project Clinical Practice Guidelines for Quality Palliative Care.

Services

Community-Based Palliative Care is specialized medical care for patients with serious illnesses. This type of care is focused on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of an illness. The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family. Community-Based Palliative Care is provided by a specially trained team that works together with a patient’s primary care practitioner to provide an extra layer of support. Community-Based Palliative Care is based on the needs of the patient, not on the patient’s prognosis. It is appropriate at any age and during any stage of a serious illness and can be provided along with curative treatment.

Distinctions

The Distinction in Telehealth focuses on the provision of care to clients/patients with acute or chronic conditions, using telehealth technology that allows monitoring in the clinical or home environment. This technology creates disease management empowerment and independence, improved access to care, increased collaboration among healthcare providers, and improved client/patient outcomes. Standards were based on telehealth clinical guidelines of the American Telemedicine Association.

*The provider must have ACHC Palliative Care Accreditation to earn a Distinction in Telehealth.
