"In stepped care, all patients receive care for their condition, but with a minimum of required contact with a specialty-trained clinician. More intensive treatment with the clinician is reserved for patients who do not benefit sufficiently from the less intensive therapies. A key element of this model is that patients must be monitored systematically and “stepped up” to more intensive treatment if less exposure to the clinician does not achieve sufficient benefit. In addition to using fewer resources by requiring minimum contact for patients who do not need more frequent visits, applying a stepped-care model is also a means to deliver more patient-centered care, tailoring palliative care to patients’ clinical needs."
