Patient Identification and Assessment

This resource is a toolkit for identifying patients with various physical, functional, emotional, social, and spiritual needs.

• Patients and families living with serious illness have a range of needs beyond disease treatment, including support for functional limitation, pain and other symptoms, and caregiver burden.
• This toolkit includes resources for inpatient providers, community-based providers, systems, plans, and accountable care organizations (ACOs).
• It also includes clinical assessment tools and information for patients about palliative care.
• Some of the resources in the toolkit are open-access and some are accessible by CAPC members only.
