Re: End of Life Issues and hospice(Rena)

[Holly Sox, RN, RAC-C]

Depends upon your most recent assessment, RAPs and Care plan.  If this was an expected progression of an established disease process and was already care planned, then Hospice admission would not necessarily constitute a significant change.   However, if your previous RAPs and care plan did not reflect the anticipated declines and potential hospice involvement, then I would think sig chg would be warranted.   HS   Holly F.
