How To Prepare Your Staff
Consider promoting ongoing education about hospice end-of-life planning throughout the lives of your patients or residents, alongside standard health information. Educating individuals well in advance helps alleviate fear, dispel misconceptions, and encourages increased utilization that benefits the overall community.
Make hospice materials and information readily available alongside other patient education tools in lobbies and common areas.
Initiate family discussions early in the course of life-limiting illnesses, addressing the distinctions between curative, palliative, and comfort-focused treatment.
Empower patients/residents to explore hospice options and engage in conversations with you if they have questions.
Ensure a comprehensive understanding of the disease process, expected outcomes, and individual goals and priorities.
Educate your team about the benefits of hospice, your hospice partners, and the signs and symptoms indicating someone may be eligible for hospice care.
Establish clear practice protocols for initiating hospice conversations.
Introducing the concept of hospice early is more effective. Providing patients/residents time to absorb and comprehend the information enables them to make informed choices when transitioning from curative to comfort care and focusing on quality of life. Consider integrating hospice information into advance care planning conversations.
