Providing comprehensive, meaningful care to patients who are referred late in their disease trajectory is one of the most long-standing challenges of delivering hospice care – clinically, operationally, and financially. Faced with these challenges, some hospice programs have developed care protocols that prioritize the most essential components of care based on individual patient and family needs. This session will examine ways in which innovative care models for late admissions to hospice modify their admissions and treatment approaches to address care priorities and manage quality risk factors for these patients.
Learning Outcomes:
• Identify key areas of concern associated with late referrals for hospice care; and
• Describe innovative hospice models and ways that they tailor admission and care practices to prioritize care needs of patients and family caregivers
