Hospice Documentation: Painting the Picture of the Terminal Patient

Even though hospice documentation is very easy, but having your staff to document perfect decline is a difficult task. As a result of this, this presentation will be providing a no frills method to participants on what should come naturally and this could be sad to be documentation of the terminal patient. Portraying the picture of the terminal patient could be referred to as a “fundamental” approach to documentation that all the people ranging from the administrator to the field staff must see.
