HOW CAN COLLABORATIVE MEMBERSHIP BENEFIT MY PATIENTS?
The 10/40 Model and its associated quality improvement tools, available exclusively to full Collaborative members, facilitates the translation of hospice care models into other healthcare settings and equips clinicians to provide the best possible personalised care to dying people and their families. Implemented properly, it can result in a major transformation in the standard of patient care.
The Collaborative's commitment to patient-centred research is consistently contributing to the evidence base in palliative and end of life care, and as a full Collaborative member your patients will benefit directly from your participation. They may also have the opportunity to participate in research projects themselves, should they wish, thereby leaving a lasting legacy for the benefit of future patients as innovations and learning are shared on a global basis.
