9 Why Is Hospice So Difficult? Prognostication Grief Social Myths Ethnicity Race Government Intervention and Payment Physicians letting go Voice of Resident and Patients Lack of real data Bad Press, or Black and White Thinking Too many hospices to choose from Marketing tactics have become super aggressive It s the biggest choice of your life! Myth or Fact? Hospice is only for patients who have given up hope and are close to death. Hospice care takes place wherever the patient calls home, including skilled nursing and assisted living facilities. The focus of hospice is not only on medical care, but on the emotional, social and spiritual needs of the entire family. 9

12 Questions to Ask Your Hospice Reps of Their Company Certifications? Licensed? Admission process Plan of care Services Inpatient care Patients rights and responsibilities Who is signing the hospice paper work to admit? Who is doing the primary evaluation? What does it cost? Do you have a 24-hour service? VI. Contracting for Success 12
