Needs Assessment Tool Palliative Care

The Needs Assessment Tool for Palliative Care (NAPC) is a comprehensive, multidomain assessment framework designed to systematically identify unmet palliative and supportive care needs in patients with advanced illness and their families. Rather than a numerical scale, the NAPC functions as a structured clinical interview and resource allocation guide, helping palliative care teams deliver holistic, person-centered care by addressing physical, psychological, social, spiritual, and practical dimensions simultaneously.
