Description: Continued scrutiny demands we provide effective documentation that reflects the value and need for hospice services.  This comprehensive program presents the Hospice Interdisciplinary Care Process through a critical thinking framework as a basis for documentation that reflects the hospice model of care.  This train-the-trainer program will allow the participant to implement this comprehensive documentation system in their agency.  It includes all the documentation training curriculum, teaching aides, guidelines, clinical reference/program integrity tools, and resources to train your staff and volunteers to “paint the picture” that justifies the value of our services. 
Tools You Can Use:

• Utilize a system to document the hospice interdisciplinary assessment process, focusing on developing patient/family driven, individualized care goals.
• Document hospice specific interventions, with an emphasis on the collaborative care planning process.
• Describe the outcomes and evaluation of care showing the value and benefits of hospice.
• Use specific language to “paint the picture” of gradual decline and the complexities of end-of-life care.
• Incorporate patient/family education into the documentation process.
