Figure 2. Layered model of team-based palliative care in heart failure.

Figure 2

This integrated, multidisciplinary model keeps the patient and caregivers central to the plan of care, while supported by layers of clinicians and providers whose support can vary over time. The core clinical team is comprised of primary care, cardiology, and palliative care, with many secondary supportive and consultative services. The included providers are likely partial, and other team members may exist in individual teams to support patients as best as able.
