The Nevada State Health Division is responsible for maintaining the Sentinel Events Registry through its Bureau of Health Planning and Statistics. Assembly Bill 1 (AB1) was passed during the 2002 18th Special Legislative Session, and mandatory reporting of sentinel events was incorporated into Nevada Revised Statute (NRS) 439.800-890 and Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) 439.900-920.

For individuals living with complex, often chronic conditions, and their families, palliative care can provide relief from symptoms, improve satisfaction and outcomes, and help address critical mental and spiritual needs during difficult times. Now more than ever, there is growing recognition of the importance of palliative care services for individuals with serious illness, such as advance care planning, pain and symptom management, care coordination, and team-based, multi-disciplinary support. These services can help patients and families cope with the symptoms and stressors of disease, better anticipate and avoid crises, and reduce unnecessary and/or unwanted care. While this model is grounded in evidence that demonstrates improved quality of life, better outcomes, and reduced cost for patients, only a fraction of individuals who could benefit from palliative care receive it.
