The Palliative Performance Scale is an 11 point clinical assessment tool designed to measure the functional performance status of palliative care patients. This serves as a communication tool for quickly describing a patient's current functional status.

This person-based grid is located in a number of palliative clinical documentation forms including the Palliative and Palliative Evening/On Call Registers.
