Today’s CoPs, CAHPS, & Caregiver Gaps

At a hospice visit, what gets done?

  • Check your Hospice Compare scores

What’s left undone?

  • Giving enough timely information?
  • Giving enough support for all involved?
  • Preparing the family for what’s ahead?
  • Check your Hospice Compare scores

Imagine, if you are the family, what do you wish your hospice team members have more time to do?

  • Help you understand what’s happening?
  • Help you know how to tend your family member?

What new needs will arise?

  • What resources are ready for the primary caregiver and family, for those many mini-moments between your visits and calls?
  • Will the primary caregiver and family recognize key changes in their family members condition?
  • Will they recognize changes in time to call you? In time for you to get there–to be there–while there’s still time?
