Spot subtle shifts early and take timely, appropriate action to support patient safety and ongoing eligibility for service.

It’s important for hospice and home health clinicians to know each patient’s baseline and to be able to identify physical, cognitive, and behavioral deviations quickly, especially since they so often work independently. This session will review how to observe, assess, communicate, and document changes in condition in a way that supports clinical decisions, appropriate levels of care, and regulatory requirements for continued services.
