"Only 1 in 10 people who need palliative care - that is medical care to relieve the pain, symptoms and stress of serious illness - is currently receiving it. This unmet need is mapped for the first time in the "Global atlas of palliative care at the end of life", published jointly by the WHO and the Worldwide Palliative Care Alliance (WPCA)."
Access the Atlas here.
QIPP stands for Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention. The aim of this initiative is to help health care organisations deliver higher quality care and operate more efficiently and effectively.
