Caring for patients facing the end of their lives requires extreme sensitivity, deep compassion, and extraordinary knowledge. To deliver informed and compassionate care, healthcare professionals need to understand the differences between hospice and palliative care.
You will leave this session with concrete strategies to identify patients for whom aggressive therapy is not appropriate, skills to work through palliative referral and financial considerations, and the latest when it comes to hospice eligibility criteria.
Each end-of-life patient trusted to your care deserves to be optimally supported, on the final journey of their life.
