201. Barriers to Hospice Referrals from Provider Perspective is proudly presented to you by National Association for Home Care & Hospice. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
Description:
With the most expensive time for care occurring at admission and death, understanding the provider perspective on referrals to hospice is key in improving hospice utilization and financial sustainability. As part of my doctoral work, I am surveying providers and asking specific questions related to barriers in hospice referrals. This session will review the results of the survey, discuss what assumptions can be made and how hospice organizations might use the data.
Learning Objective 1:
Explain past perspectives on barriers to hospice utilization, as well as what current data tells us and be able to discuss how these perspectives impact hospice financial sustainability.
Learning Objective 2:
Discuss hospice utilization in their region and interpret the data to generate assumptions for their organization.
Learning Objective 3:
Generate opportunity statements for improving hospice utilization within their organization.
