Improving Communication Between Healthcare Professionals and Families About Hospice Care
$25.95
Medicare wisely created an interdisciplinary benefit four decades ago, to support dying patients and their chosen families. However, major deficits still exist in the understanding of the hospice benefit among healthcare professionals, and as a result those patients’ and families’ perceptions about disease trajectory and expectations about the dying process. This program aims to help healthcare team members to close the gap between perception and reality.
