PCQC Annual Program Survey
The 2022 Annual Program Survey is now available! The deadline to complete the Survey is June 30, 2023.
What is the Annual Program Survey?
The PCQC Annual Program Survey is a yearly opportunity for palliative care programs submit data about their program reflecting the previous calendar year. This survey provides actionable data that programs can use to secure, expand and retain resources for delivery of high-quality palliative care, and to support the establishment of new palliative care programs where none exist. Data is collected on all service settings across the continuum of care, including hospital, long-term care, office/clinic, and home-based palliative care. For programs that previously contributed data to the former National Palliative Care Registry™, your historical data is saved in the PCQC registry and you should now complete your annual surveys within the PCQC registry. By submitting the survey, programs become PCQC Advanced Members and access program-level reports in the PCQC data registry.
New to the Annual Program Survey or the PCQC Registry?
If this is yours or your programs first time completing the Annual Program Survey, you must first complete the Program Profile. The Program Profile includes basic information about your program and establishes the settings and sites in which you provide care. Additionally, you can chose to list your palliative care program on the provider directory on GetPalliativeCare.org, using the information is provided in your Program Profile. Please use the Program Profile User Guide that gives detailed instructions on how to set up your Program Profile to get started.
If your program is new to the PCQC Registry and would like to become a Basic Member (completing the Program Profile), please contact PCQC Member Services for next steps.
