Identifying palliative care champions to promote high-quality care to those with serious illness.
This article discusses the shortage of palliative care specialists in the United States now and in the future. In 2010, the shortage quantified as anywhere from 6000 to 18,000 palliative care physicians. Projections to 2030 do not show that the workforce will increase by that time. The authors suggest the use of 鈥淧alliative Care Champions鈥 who are physicians with basic palliative care training.

Addressing palliative care clinician burnout in organizations: a workforce necessity, an ethical imperative.
Clinician burnout reduces the capacity for providers and health systems to deliver timely, high quality, patient-centered care and increases the risk that clinicians will leave practice. Efforts to mitigate and prevent burnout currently focus on individual clinicians. However, analysis of the problem of burnout should be expanded to include both individual- and systems-level factors as well as solutions; comprehensive interventions must address both.
