About the Event
The word ”hospice” is often difficult for patients and caregivers to hear after battling an extended illness or when an acute medical condition strikes. Each patient that is referred to hospice brings a unique experience that resulted in a terminal prognosis and at times hospice referrals are made with minimal information about the hospice philosophy being provided to patients or their loved ones. This session will provide guidance and examples for hospice team members to utilize when meeting with patients and families for the first time. Tips on presenting and answering questions regarding the hospice election and addendum statements will be provided. Discussion will address frequent concerns and questions that patients and caregivers have and provide guidance that supports and guide patients as they navigate the final chapter of their lives.
