Regardless of whether care is inpatient or outpatient, primary or subspecialty, a solid understanding of the basics of effective communication, symptom management, and end-of-life care is crucial. Palliative care prioritizes symptom management and quality of life throughout the course of serious illness. Such a whole new approach responds to the main challenges of current palliative care. This center's new work plan includes additional significant innovations, such as the startup of the first chair of palliative care in Spain. Moreover, the center advocates the development of comprehensive models of care that address patients' psychosocial needs.
Based on new evidence, the center has recently decided to expand its scope by adopting a community-wide chronic care approach which moves beyond cancer and focuses on the early identification of patients with any chronic disease in need of palliative care. Such global assessment would take forward the quality of the institution, and generate a revision of its terms of reference for the next designation period. At the end of the initial four-year designation period, the organization evaluates the task done to reach its objectives. The center's main features and future actions are emphasized. This article describes the WHOCC-ICO's contribution in the implementation of public health palliative care programs and services. The center aims to provide support to countries willing to develop palliative care programs, to identify models of success, to support WHO's policies, and to generate and spread evidence on palliative care. The designation of the Catalan Institute of Oncology (Barcelona, Spain) as World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Centre for Public Health Palliative Care Programmes (WHOCC-ICO) in February 2008 turns the institution into the first ever center of international reference in regards to palliative care implementation from a public health perspective.

This study affirms the growing availability of palliative care services among these selected hospitals along with opportunities to improve the scope of services in line with national recommendations. The findings identify challenges facing both existing/evolving palliative care programs, and establish a foundation for strategies to attain best practices not yet implemented. A gap analysis was conducted to analyze the current state of each hospital's program based upon CAPC's definition of a quality palliative care program. Data was collected from August through October of 2013 by means of key informant interviews with nine staff members from these hospitals using a guide comprised of questions based on CAPC's recommendations. Seven hospitals located in Buffalo, New York were included based on the existence of a hospital-based palliative care program. This study evaluated current hospital-based palliative care programs using recommendations from the Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC) as a framework.
