Stupski Serious Illness Care Program Evaluation
Project Summary
We aim to understand the effectiveness of palliative care interventions across multiple grantees funded by the Stupski Foundation’s Serious Illness Care Program, and how varying implementation contexts and intervention components affect the spread and sustainability of improvements. Using mixed methods, our work evaluates how the Foundation’s investments have fostered improvement in the quality of life of seriously ill adults and also promote understanding of how to spread and sustain those improvements. We simultaneously assess intervention effectiveness on desired outcomes, while also understanding how effective interventions become embedded and spread in their local context within and across the grantee sites; essentially, we will evaluate what works for whom and in what situations.
