Who's in Charge Here? Determining a Patient's Goals...

The Heart of Hospice Podcast ·

2020/01/24

Every patient in hospice care has a plan of care that’s designed by the hospice interdisciplinary team. The patient voices what he or she wants and needs, and then the hospice team determines how we can safely, legally, and ethically meet those needs.

The patient gets to decide the kind of care he receives. Quality of life means something
