PROMISE

Performance Reporting and Outcomes Measurement to Improve the Standard of care at End-of-life (PROMISE) is an integral part of the VA's nationwide Comprehensive End-of-Life Care Initiative, which was created to improve the care of veterans and their families near the end of life.  PROMISE's goals are:

 

  1. To identify and reduce unwanted variation in the quality of end-of-life care throughout the VA

  2. To define and disseminate processes of care (“Best Practices”) that contribute to improved outcomes for veterans near the end of life and their families
