In this episode I review my strategies when I have family members who are afraid to tell their loved one that hospice is being consulted for care.
I spend some time helping you understand the real difference between patients who can understand what they are being signed up for versus patients who are confused and can’t understand the decisions being made for them.
I talk about using my Clinical Data Sheet during conversation and assessment to gather information and ask questions.
I offer access to my show outline for easy reference. You can download the PDF version by clicking HERE.
I also spend some time explaining how to adjust your conversation to find out what kind of experience (if any) your patient or caregivers have with hospice.
