Thank you for reaching out. For integrating palliative care assessments, I recommend starting with the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS) and the Palliative Performance Scale (PPS). These tools are widely recognized for effectively evaluating patient needs and can be seamlessly integrated into existing healthcare systems.
If you need further details or assistance, please feel free to contact me.
Best regards,
Jordan Smith
