RE: Hospice Care Plans

[Sherry Salinas]

It's been my experience that hospice care plans are inadequate.  My care plans are much more comprehensive.  I incorporate hospice approaches into my care plan.

Hospice usually provided their care plan, so I put a copy of it on top of our care plan.  Then, in my care plan, in one of the problems as to why they are on hospice, I add a note to the problem saying they are on hospice, & add the approach to follow Hospice care plan as one of my approaches.  I would add an approach to notify hospice of any change in condition to coordinate cares

I was asked to pass this question on to the group.....

 

"How does everyone out there incorporate the Hospice care plans with their care plans? Do you make sure you have each item from the hospice care plan included in your care plan....or do you pull a copy of the hospice care plan and include with your care plans?

 

Need help ASAP...we are trying to work on our POC for a not so pleasant survey and are under a tight schedule to get this corrected."

 

Thx in advance!
